Keep in mind that a generally accepted rule of thumb for deer rifles is that they have a minimum of 1000 ft. lbs of energy at impact.
Thats what most people say is acceptable but i feel that 1500 ft. lbs of energy is a safer number to use. Im not saying that 1000 ft. lbs wont kill deer, a 22lr will kill a deer with the right shot and it has nowhere near 1000 ft. lbs of enerygbut i just stick with 1500 and i know im going to drop the deer quickly.
