[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2750979, member: 5352"] Lot of complicated variables interact but at basic level energy is proportional to volume of wound. Cross sectional Area and velocity squared are proportional to diameter of wound / rate of energy transfer (i.e. drag ). So wider/faster bullets may make wider/shallower wounds than slower/narrower bullets with similar energies. What works best depends on what you are doing Lou [/QUOTE]
