[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1718650, member: 60453"] Yep, ftlbs are deceiving. For instance, a 22-250 firing a 50 grain bullet and a 45-70 firing a 405grain bullet at about 1500fps have almost the same ftlb rating. A better gage of effectiveness is the Taylor Knock-out rating. I'm pretty sure the 22-250 won't stop a big bear nearly as well as a 45-70 using 405 grain bullets. That's an extreme case, but it illustrates the point. A buffalo hit with a 22-250 at 400 yards will probably think he's been bit by a deer fly. [/QUOTE]
