I am sure you can google how the terminal energy levels were developed.

I have no idea on what it takes to shoot long distance heck I can’t even see that far much less shoot that far lol. Apparently you have done your homework on what it takes to kill an animal at those distances or you wouldn’t have shot. Good job to you sir on taking home some meat for the freezer.

I guess every single person on here throwing rocks at the op have never made a bad choice and had an animal run off wounded. No matter how you look at it. Yes he made a bad choice by shooting long with the incorrect round. But I’ll be ****ed if you folks haven’t waited a deer out 30min to make sure he’s finished no diffrent he just didn’t wait. I guess on the bright side it’s good most of us on here are 100% perfect at everything we do. For what ever we’re hunting that is. Hipócritas

Good lord I don't get why everyone is jumping on him about caliber choice. And now everyone is a ballistics expert. 22 Creed does an excellent job because it can push the longer heavier .224 bullets much faster than most other .224 calibers. I'm willing to bet most people have no issue shooting deer with a 55 grain 22-250.
And obviously faster smaller diameter bullets can do better than some slower larger diameter bullets. Like a 26 nosler vs a 308.
Bottom line is the OP knew his ability with that rifle and felt comfortable taking the shot. He hit it in the vitals and happened to walk up on her before she expired so he sped it up to relieve her from suffering. I don't see any reason to judge him over it. There's no for sure way to know if she would have died sooner with the 28 nosler behind him or if he had the wrong wind hold with that gun and made a poor shot.
Nice shot OP and I can't wait to get my 22 creedmoor finished.

Hahaha the amount of “I need a tracking dog” threads on here once archery season starts and all of you want to criticize him for his shot and weapon of choice? He seems to be far more efficient with his weapon at that distance than those of you with a bow at 30-40 yds who choose to throw stones. Bunch of **** hypocrites that need to worry about their own abilities first.
