As an example, let's take a .30-30 rifle firing a Federal factory load with a 150 grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2,390 fps. At the muzzle that bullet carries 1,900 ft. lbs. of energy. At 100 yards the energy has fallen to 1,355 ft. lbs. At 200 yards the energy is down to 945 ft. lbs. At 300 yards the energy has fallen to only 650 ft. lbs., which is below our 800 ft. lb. minimum. The velocity, by the way, is down to 1400 fps at 300 yards. One could conclude that the .30-30 is about a 200+ yard deer cartridge, based on its energy, and one would be right.

If you can swing the cost, the 42 oceanfront cottages (renovations planned at press time) are as dreamy as any place youâll stay in Hawaiâi. They have lots of hammocks by the ocean, deep soaking tubs, separate showers, a mini bar and empty fridge. The thing that makes Turtle Bay so great is also what hurts it. Itâs near the northernmost tip of the islandâfar, far away from Waikiki. Your dining choices are limited to the on-site restaurants, or youâll drive into Haleâiwa 20 minutes (or more with traffic) away.
