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.

Nohu and Nehe decorate the shoreline, and it is the only place where Naio PÄpÄ is found at all. Today Kamilo in the KaâÅ« district of the Big Island stands as one of few remote coastlines that have been spared the toll of our modern societyâ¦ until last month, that is.
