[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 296279, member: 12069"] I believe the KE minimum is dependant on conditions whe the shot is taken. When taking elk at long range I think a higher KE minimum is required as shot placement is harder to control. If the shots impact is not broadside and in the vitals then you risk loosing a wounded animal when going with lower KE numbers. Simply put I feel is more reasonable to use a 300 Savage on an Elk at its range with only 1200 lbs KE left than it is to use a 300 RUM at the range it only has 1200 lbs left. This assume the rifles are equally accurate and the same bullets are used. [/QUOTE]
