[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 514222, member: 10306"] rather than looking to energy for your answer, look to velocity. Your bullet needs "X" amount of velocity to open reliably. Some bullets need more than others. A-MAX's for example have a fairly low Minimum Expansion Velocity. Barnes on the other hand not so much (not to say that barnes are bad, I use them alot). MEV is usually between 1650fps and 2000fps. I always like to keep it higher by quit a bit, usually 400fps. All that being said I havent ever had a shot long enough to stretch a round to that point. hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
