[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2014026, member: 14204"] Not a simple and straight answer perhaps but for me, as long as the minimum velocity (i.e., >1600 FPS) recommended for the bullet design at the point of impact is met, along with minimum KE. [B]"My"[/B] unwritten rule is 1500 FT-LBS (elk size) and 1000 FT-LBS (deer size) on wild game. In short, I try to keep both these parameters together when possible ... [B]but that's just me. [/B]Of course, there is no substitute for shot placement. [/QUOTE]
