- Yep, if you're a good enough stalker, this would be plenty...right behind the ear.

88 Eld, so basically a crossbow bolt with a bang?

I wonder how many foot pounds would be necessary to kill a moose in a spot and stalk scenario?

Been a while since I’ve read this.

I was under the impression this was the minimum performance allowed.

New to the forum. Stumbled on this thread just researching 223 rounds. Not a hunter, only been hunting once and did not get a chance to kill a deer and it was still one of the best times of my life. Needless to say I started reading the thread and was instantly hooked. Close to the 300 page mark. Anyway I wanted to contribute some data for those looking for a very low cost round that punches way above its weight. Might be good for practice and some game (again I am not a hunter so I would not know what this round does first hand). I picked it up at 45 cents per round and I think it is currently 48. Seems to be the same as the USA RED or the old purple LE training rounds. Thank you to the OP and subsequently all of the contributors. Outstanding thread that is a wealth of knowledge.
