Rossi .45 Colt at 100

[Bibletotingunslinger]

300 grains at 1566 fps has enough kinetic energy within and under 100 yards to stop a heart from the impact not alone soft tissue damages and arterial bleeding. I'm not saying its not deadly past 100 yards just very impressive thumper you have ringing gongs. that at 100 yards is 1634 ft. lbs. of force.

I am quoting you, 300 grn flying at 1566 feet per second, I saw this somewhere else, did you Chronny this?
or are we just using a calculator?
See, 300 GRNS at 1500FPS at the snout, assuming its not tumbling, should not be much different at 200 yards.
According to the calculator,,,,,,if above all happens at the snout, at 200 yards its still going 1000 FPS and should clip the 18 inch mark on the tape measure.
Let me whoop out my calculator,,,, http://www.hornady.com/ballistics-resou ... calculator

See, when I look at large target at 200 yards, to aim 18" high at it, is not hard,,,,,follow?
A few shots just to see what actually goes on, make memory of that front site, where it sets in the rear,,,
Did I miss something?

I just used a simple online calculator to be honest. I was only looking at the potential energy at that distance not the needed holdover or arc to target. I'm not all that intuitive in that math but like seeing the kenetic possibilities of rounds. I lacked needed info like sea level winds, temp,humidity. Even then I let my phone do the work . I was in a very bad accident when I was young n dumb and rember the inertia tearing me up on the inside in a slow motion type scene you would see in a movie. It's why I like to see what is possible of a round at the intended range. As the wound channel or cavity is important so is the transfer of the inertia or kenetic energy into the surrounding tissues to cause organ failure and cleaner death. Sorry if I mispelled a few words I'm not that langustic on text or typeing
