Question.....
I've got my inline muzzleloader dialed in with a Nikon inline muzzy 3 x 9 x 40 bdc 300 scope.
I feel confident shooting out to 250 yards. Haven?t tried out to 330 yards which is the furthest distance on my scope bullet drop compensation. Don?t plan on shooting that far anyways. I have a buck deer and cow elk tag. What is sufficient ft Ibs of energy to harvest a cow elk?
My muzzle velocity is 1680 FPS respectively (tested with chronograph) with 1567 ft Ibs of energy
At 250 yards it's 1223 FPS with 830 ft Ibs of energy
At 300 yards it's 1155 FPS with 740 ft Ibs of energy
At 330 yards it 1121 FPS with 697 ft Ibs of energy
Shooting a CVA Accura V2 with 100 grains of 777 and a Barnes TMZ 250 grain sabot.
Is this energy enough to drop a cow elk?
