I live in the Southeast and enjoy camping and just general kicking around in the woods. I wanted to get ya'lls' opinion on something concerning 25 yard or less protection from animals native to this area as well as from people who may want to cause harm.
I am deliberately leaving the cartridge and gun out. I am looking for opinions based on what information is presented here.
QUESTION: Based on the listed specs, would a 109 grain, .40 caliber, hard-cast bullet be useful for the above mentioned concerns? Up to what size critter would you use it on (given shot placement is attended to)?
Distance...Velocity.......Energy........Bullet path
(yards).....(feet/sec.)...(ft. lbs.)......(inch)
Muzzle.....1755.............781............- 2.0
25...........1427............517............+ 0.2
50...........1179............352............+ 1.4
75...........1025............266............+ 1.0
100...........930............219............- 1.4
Thanks...
