I've seen the BLR and am interested. Think I'd still do iron sights as I already have a .243 scoped bolt action.

This started out with my concern about the stopping power of the.45LC at (no more than) 100 yds. Is there a "foot pounds" of energy that one could use to make a judgement? Say (just making it up) that for deer you should 1,000 fp, elk 1,500, and so on?
