When you asked for "recommended minimum velocity" did you or they specify minimum muzzle velocity or minimum impact velocity?


I actually asked for minimum impact velocity or minimum impact ft lbs. I did that because I contacted a speer technician last week who said they go off minimum impact ft lbs based on animal size(I was asking about deer and elk hunting).

I'm guessing they probably read it wrong also, so I did reply back to their reply. Hopefully I will get another reply.
