[QUOTE="cummin_un_glued, post: 969164, member: 28533"] I look at retained energy because when comparing different calibers and different bullets it is a more equal measure. When your talking opening velocities for bullets there are a lot more variables. I like to know that if my bullet hits a bone that its going to go on through it. For example this was my 7x300 at 1340 yards. Impact velocity was 1844fps and energy was 1359ft-lbs. The target was 1/4" mild steel now I know its not AR500 target steel but game isn't armor plated either.
