Default RE: effective kill range?

2 things


How fastare these loads ?
As speed kills

Lets say for grinns they are 1400 fps

I would say 30 yds
But I would never use them past 25

There is always the golden BB
I have seen a goose fall stone dead from a load of #4 steel from 50 yards
It had 1 #4 in the throat ( non penatrated the chest more than 1/2" )

I have seen to many ducks fall dead 1/4 mile after a guy shot at them to use a load like that

But I do shoot a reload of 1 oz of #4 at 1600 fps
But I still use a max. of 30 yds and try to keep all my shots shorter than 25 yds
