With 87, 95 and 105 Berger Hunting VLD bullets, I'm perfectly comfortable with 500 lbs of energy delivery.
The distance that comes depends on the velocity, as previously stated.
I believe the 1000lb number and even the 800lb number is based on "worst case scenario"
If you put your bullet where you're suppose to...500lbs is more than enough for even the biggest mule deer.
For bullets other than Bergers...I will not comment as I have no experience on what will or wont open up like it should.
