22LR 40 gr @ 1,150 FPS = 116 ft lbs
average whitetail 100 Lbs
thats 1.16 Ft Lbs of energy per pound of body weight
458 Lott 450 gr @ 2,450 FPS = 6000 ft lbs
Average male african Elephant 7,700 lb
thats .779 Ft Lbs of energy per pound of body weight
So do you think shooting an elephant with a 458 Lott is wrong as well?
