[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 3075095, member: 68542"] Energy was a decent metric back in the day before bullet technology had made much headway. Now, it’s relatively meaningless on its own. Impact velocity needs matched with bullet choice and shot placement. An eldx or eldm behind the shoulder, impacting above 1800fps will do the job every time. Doesn’t matter if it’s a 6mm, 7mm, or .30 cal. Keep it within the designed bullet velocity window for expansion, put it in the pocket, and you’ll be in good shape. Your biggest issue typically won’t be bullet performance at 500, but shot placement. [/QUOTE]
