Sorry!
So, I know that the minimum permitted energy for a deer legal rifle/bullet is 1700 ft/lbs - AT THE MUZZLE - but is there a minimum permitted energy at the POI? If so, what is it?
I am fully aware that different bullets will retain different amounts of power at different ranges, depending on bullet weight, initial velocity etc.
I was reading an article by Chuck Hawkes, and it seems that the convention ofopinion (in America at least) is that a bullet should hit a deer sized animal with around 800 ft/lb to ensure a kill, is the thinking the same over here?
