MarineHawk Campfire Regular Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 2,512	Originally Posted by Judman Pards bull, killed 1340 yards, 7 mag 180 Berger. How many flbs of energy was remaining there? Beautiful pack out by the way, 5 guys, old road grades the whole way... Nice bull. With no knowledge, I'm assuming 5,000 ft elevation as a median or so. With HSM's factory load with that bullet, it had dropped 38 MOA, or 46 ft from the LOS. It would have been moving around 1,450 fps and had an energy of about 850 ft-lbs, about like a medium .44 mag loading at the muzzle. That's pretty amazing shooting. How did they account for the drop and/or wind? Quite a shot. It looks like they took out the spine. I'm seriously impressed.
