I know this can get a bit dicey but all things considered...
In your opinion, is velocity or energy more important for an ethical kill on big game? I have heard/read various levels of acceptable energy related to game size (1000,1200,1500,2500 ft-lb) but also hear/read that velocity is more important due hydrostatic shock. Personally, I prefer the "wind resistance" of the 7mm for insurance with inaccuracy of wind calls.
Would you choose...
7mm, 180g
2057fps/1692ft-lb
or
338, 250gr
1810fps / 1819 ft-lb
Trying to decide which setup to go with for Elk/Caribou/Moose/Black Bear.
Thanks
