[QUOTE="Double Dropper, post: 1699660, member: 92893"] I can agree with the statements above 1. Accuracy and shot placement are critical and are real factors for quick kills. 2. Hunting is not a perfect scenario and game does move, wind plays with shot placement and the perfect rest is not always available. 3. That being said, for larger game 140 grains is not enough JMO I know I opened a can of worms because when things go wrong (hunting situation) and they invariably do, you are playing with the bare minimum for power and bullet weight. Deer and antelope probably not a concern but bigger game, I prefer a larger margin for error. 1000 foot pounds of energy on an elk is not enough. [/QUOTE]
