There's no official RDA, but sodium balance can be maintained by about 500 mg daily, for the most part. 1100 to 3300 mgs should be adequate. Obviously most of us get a whole lot more that that. If salt is lost through sweat, which contains about 1 gram per liter, then more may be needed, but it can be replaced through normal intake unless you've lost around 8 or more pounds of fluid...

It is recommended that all people consume a low or moderate sodium diet because of the risk of hypertension. About 30 percent of the population is "salt sensitive", with only half of the patients with hypetension being sensitve, however. In a high protein diet, excess sodium might help prevent kidney stones.

Increasing pottasium intake (or calcium) decrease the risk of high sodium.

In general, however, you should probably cut down of the jerky or see if you can find a brand with lower sodium.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
