[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2395264, member: 61747"] That is the entire point about TERMINAL BALLISTICS. Most people fail to take science into the argument and just run with some myth called Knock Down PowA. It boils down to impact velocity, bullet design, impact point, and energy. Energy being the least important for the simple fact that energy has to be transferred to the target and that is very subjective. For example, if you shoot a 50 cal at 2800 fps with 5000 ft lbs of energy, it sounds wicked. What if that bullet is armor piercing...... in this case the bullet will not expand, will not transfer much of the energy, it will pass through and continue its path to something that will actually stop it. What good is that? Some will then say its the frontal area..... yep ok, good point. The difference between a .264 and .308 is .044 thou. Is that really an arguable point? [/QUOTE]
