Questions about the irrelevance of energy (ft-lbs)

Yes, he was also shooting people much further away than any of us should be shooting at game. My weapon of choice was a 155mm Excalibur round (we called it “the world’s biggest sniper rifle”), but that doesn’t make it the best choice for hunting.

Guess you didn’t read the post. The gentlemen was asking “ what would you want to be shot with? “

A water pistol? It’s a dumb rhetorical question.

I don’t have a beef with anyone.

These debates are often dumb and always always pointless, because people either understand how bullets kill or they don’t.

Seems like CHRIS KYLE shot a 338 Lapua

So?

I would venture to guess that most of the time he was using a 300WM, but I am sure he probably did use the 338L when the possibility of having to disable a vehicle or shoot through barriers was a possibility.

The sniper overwatch provides quite a few different functions, not just shooting people.

I was replying to a question posed by another gentleman who asked what would you want to be shot with? It was about bullets. I replied that CPO Chirs Kyle favored the .338 Lapua. Just assumed folks knew that round was the FMJBT.
