Default RE: energy required

Yes I know that the bigger the bullet the faster it will die. To get the same numbers on a 2000# cape buffalo that your 7mm mag would have on a 150# whitetail you would need a 1866 grain bullet traveling at 3000 fps. That would give a muzzle energy figure of 37,286 foot pounds.
