    My 10c and rule of thumb is that 1000 foot pound of energy is where the optimal projectile opening kinda sits/finishes...yes you can do it with less but you face pass through etc....if you are running a drop chart app it will calculate that for you...at your 3 to 400m depending on barrel length you should be all good...... remember range shooting is different to animal shooting....bunch of extra factors.

    Best of luck
