I have a question - are there energy requirements for hunting dangerous or other game specified or involved in determining an adequate cartridge for hunting desired game - ie produces over 4000FPE at the muzzle. I know that cartridges are specified in the rule books and I would think FPE would be determing factor. Any examples would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
