Let me clarify something before I piss people off. I'm not shooting anything at distances of more than a couple hundred yards. '
My buddy and I are shooting at 800 yards. We know the remaining foot pounds of energy and velocity at the impact on paper. We just got curious as to whether, if it did hit an animal, it would have enough left on it to do any damage.
It's more a question of curiosity than anything else. We work nights together and now we are too curious to let it go. I'm gonna find out somehow!
The type of numbers you are looking for are somewhat arbitrary in nature.
I hesitate to give you advice of any kind since you are obviously not interested ina responsible and reasonable kill.
Based on what the experts say I would go with something with around 1k ft/lbs retained energy.
Do you read the same language you type? I've never said I was going to try and kill anything at those distances. I'm just curious. I shoot paper that far away. Not living things. I said that twice so far. Don't bash me if you're not gonna read my words.
I don't think the issue was so much with me not understanding as it was you not being entirely clear. I'm college educated so I'm yeah I'm pretty sure I know a little about the written word, but thanks.

Yeah clear as a bell? Maybe if you're autistic.
If you think my comment was"bashing" you're probably overreacting just a tad bit.
Oh and you're welcome for the free advice.I guess it would be too much trouble for you to say anything nice about me taking the time tohelp you with yourquestion, valid or not.
