[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2907326, member: 15054"] Some math for you guys to chew on. 155gr of the above bullet Jcan posted moving 2800fps from the muzzle. ................................1500yards = 1,028 fps 357 ft.lbs energy. 45acp 230gr FMJ from the muzzle 845 fps 357 ft.lbs energy. 45acp 230gr FMJ from 50 yards out 813 fps 338 ft.lbs energy. 155gr of the above at 1600 yards..... 989 fps 337 ft.lbs energy. I killed a deer where it stood at 47 paces with a FMJ 230gr fired from my 45acp pistol. bang flop. I would not want to be shot at at 2000 yards out from the 155gr. 36gr .22 LR at 1400 fps 1,065 fps at 100 yards and 91 lb energy. 200 yards it is 909 fps and 66 energy. You can still drop critters at 200 yards with the little .22. The above 180gr at 2500fps muzzle will be at 1500 yards 1102 fps and 502 energy. 2,000 yards it is 956 fps and 365 ft.lbs energy.
