I'm sure you can kill one at 1k with it all I'm saying is if you use the generally accepted rule of thumb that around 1k ft lbs is needed for an ethical kill once you go past 500 energy is below 1k ft. lbs and dropping quickly with that light bullet. I'm speaking to 110 grain. IMO if you don't make a perfect shot you are going to have one run off and die. And your chances of not making a perfect shot are greatly increased with a light bullet. Just not optimal for those ranges in my opinion.
What's your reasoning that chances to make a perfect shot are decreased by a light bullet? I would think that less recoil and less of a rainbow trajectory would increase your chances of a perfect hit rather than decrease them.
