[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1469800, member: 97288"] 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 [/QUOTE]
