[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 267209, member: 3776"] The factors that determine wound channel size and the depth of penetration (aside from bullet integrity) are 1-the amount of direct applied pressure, 2-the amount of hydraulic pressure created, 3-frontal area of the bullet. Bore diameter and bullet weight are constants that do not change after the bullet leaves the barrel ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED IN INELASTIC COLLISIONS, MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED IN ALL COLLISIONS. A bullet collision is an inelastic collision. Another way to look at the fallacy of "energy' dump is the following examples. My 338 Lapua shooting a 300 grain SMK at 2791 FPS has 5188 FPE and a 458 win with a 500 grain bullet at 2100 FPS has 4896 FPE yet there is no way that the 338 is a better round for use on Elephant. Example #2 a 55 grain bullet fired from a 22-250 at 3600 FPS has 1583 FPE. A 360 grain 454 bullet at 1400 FPS has 1567 FPE. that is less energy than the 22 caliber bullet yet the 360 grain bullet will break more bone penetrate deeper and leave a larger wound channel on a big game animal such as American Bison [/QUOTE]
