[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 11639, member: 2736"] Jeremiah. Before you chose a cartridge look at the max distance you want to hunt. then look at the Energy at your max distance of each Caliber. 1200ft-lbs for whitetails and 2000 ft-lbs is recomened for one shot kills on Elk. Example , A 7mm 140gr leaving at 3200 fps has 2120ft-lbs at 300 yds and 1836 at 400 yds . So 350 yds would be max for Elk. With the same load Whitetail can be taken out to 650 yds. At long range a big fast bullet Beats a small fast bullet in energy. Hope this helps Good Luck [/QUOTE]
