Orange rows are transonic (Mach 1.2–1.0), red subsonic. Elevation is the come-up; wind is the bullet's drift for 10 mph at 90°, so halve it for 5 mph and for a 30° wind. The app builds this for your barrel length, your altitude and today's weather, and lets you true the MV against what you actually hit.

Energy on the animal

Max ethical range, vitals shot

Coyote / varmint950 ydKeeps 250 ft·lb and expansion velocity to 950 yd.

Pronghorn300 ydKeeps 800 ft·lb and expansion velocity to 300 yd.

Whitetail deer200 ydKeeps 1,000 ft·lb and expansion velocity to 200 yd.

Mule deer200 ydKeeps 1,000 ft·lb and expansion velocity to 200 yd.

Wild hog200 ydKeeps 1,000 ft·lb and expansion velocity to 200 yd.

Black bear100 ydKeeps 1,200 ft·lb and expansion velocity to 100 yd.

ElkNot enoughNever carries 1,500 ft·lb inside the table.

MooseNot enoughNever carries 1,500 ft·lb inside the table.

Energy floors: Coyote 250 · Pronghorn 800 · Whitetail 1,000 · Mule 1,000 · Wild 1,000 · Black 1,200 · Elk 1,500 · Moose 1,500 ft·lb (see the sources on each animal in the app). Expansion floor from the bullet family's published minimum impact velocity. A bone-breaking shoulder shot wants a bonded, partition or monolithic bullet regardless of energy.
