[QUOTE="whirlwindjml, post: 3044378, member: 19793"] I guess that's the part I keep getting confused by cuz it just seems like people comfort themselves with the energy but in all the extensive reading I've done on terminal ballistics the energy plays a limited part in the actual killing. True it contributes to damage but much of it goes through the target with big bullets. So all the numbers that were on the paper saying you got 3,000 lb of energy don't do a lot of good when 1500 lb of it continues on into the bank behind the animal. Yes the energy is important to get the bullet to expand which in my opinion is a far bigger thing to worry about. That's all I'm saying. A sincerely look at all this as interesting sciences not for pleasure of arguing [/QUOTE]
