[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1063458, member: 30902"] "Energy" is the product of mass and velocity. Here is a web based energy calculator. [url]http://www.tresterscustomguns.com/calcnrg.html[/url] You can achieve the same energy with a lighter bullet and faster velocity or with a heavier bullet and less velocity. The amount of, and effect of that energy on the target depends on the type of bullet used. If a bullet explodes when it hits the skin you get very little penetration and only a surface wound because not much of the energy went into the animal. Maximum transfer of energy occurs when the bullet gets into the body cavity and fragments to such an extent that there is no exit. Minimum transfer of energy occurs when you get a complete pass through with no expansion or when the highly frangible bullet fails to penetrate. [/QUOTE]
