[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2750554, member: 73596"] I think the most important thing is to understand the performance range of the specific bullet that you are using and the velocity range in which it performs as designed. I'll probably get bombed for saying this, but energy doesn't kill directly. It kills indirectly by pushing the bullet through certain types of anatomical structures allowing the bullet to do the job that it was designed to do. Example of how energy doesn't kill directly is in what happens when you shoot FMJ bullets through flesh. They just pencil through. Opposite example is a v-max bullet at 3800 fps. If you so much as hit a thick tree leave the bullet comes apart explosively. [/QUOTE]
