Way back when, there were minimum energy standards recommended for both deer and elk. If my addled old brain recalls them it was 2,000 lbs for elk with a minimum of 1500. Looking at energy charts for some high. BC, 100 gr bullets...
The reason that energy minimums aren’t all that common anymore, is because impact energy isn’t all that relevant as a metric for killing effectiveness.
What caliber and 100 gr bullet are you looking at?
