That's the answer I'm waiting to hear.


"Shooting bullets at 100fps might be adequate for taking mice. For elk I use a rule of thumb of 1500fpe. It would take a 10-pound bullet at 100fps to generate 1500fpe. Not very practical and range would suck."


But I'm repeating myself...

If you need a single monosyllabic answer to understand the answer, it would be "No". But using 100fps as I did to prove a point is perfectly valid. If energy doesn't matter then velocity doesn't matter either.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
