First, congratulations FX. 

I don't want to get voted off the island, but does anyone think that 150 foot pounds of muzzle energy is a good choice for deer sized animals? Would you really expect a deer shot in the shoulder, hind quarters, a non vital neck shot, guts, a glancing skull shot, or a quartering shot to the vitals to actually kill it? By killing it, I mean where you could retrieve it, not by eventual infection. Sorry to piss anyone off, but I take the privilege of hunting seriously. 

(Colorado fish and wildlife DNR recommends a minimum of 1000 foot pounds for white tail deer).

I already have three WTD with. 357.... Two with two lungs and heart (only walked 30 yards (not run) and died without getting to know what had happened.

The third one was a shot in the brain with head down... Switched off without giving a step.

Totally believe in what you said. Big calibers most hunters used for WTD are overkill. 120 foot pound energy is more than enough but not at 100 yards and more. Up to 70 yards and you are in business in my own opinion.

From 40-50 yards you cannot miss the deer dead that is for sure.
