I doubt making “sense” of things is your forte as you are still trying to explain your original post. In fairness though another adult telling you about 1500 ft lbs and elk made sense to you 40 years ago, so there is that.
Nobody in this thread has disproved that it works, so there is that
This is painful.
Nobody in this thread has claimed that bullets with 1500 ft-lbs of kinetic energy at impact don't work. What you don't seem to understand is that the 1500 ft-lbs bullet is a subset of bullets that work. Bullet performance and placement can make up for a bullet that has much less than 1500 ft-lbs. A VLD in the ribs is decisively lethal, as long as the bullet arrives with enough velocity to expand/implode, even if it has nowhere near 1500 ft-lbs of kinetic energy.
+1000 Jordan. For a while now I’ve looked at velocity limits and used that as one of the main factors when choosing a bullet for a given cartridge.
