I understand your point...but, I took a deer at 73 yards and from the looks of it the damage was extensive to the deer. Everything between the entrance wound and exit wound was nothing but jello...both lungs and the heart. I can't see the velocity dropping that much another 30 yards or so out.
And, what about people hunting white-tail with .357 Magnum handguns? There are plenty of successful, quick, clean kills with it...and, the FPE actually STARTS out under 800 fpe.

Just wondering....
And, not matter what we are hunting with, handgun or the lastest shoulder cannon, a clean, well placed shot should be primo on the list of a good hunter.
Thanks.....
