Hunting & suitability
- Primary purpose

- Hunting use

- Suggested min muzzle energy
- 50 ft·lb

Projectile alone does not establish ethical use; confirm legal species, rifle FPE, retained energy, accuracy, expansion/penetration, and shot placement. Slugs require barrel fit and enough PCP power to stabilize.
