[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1538383, member: 7999"] Energy had to be part of the equation. Problem is it is not a significant part of the equation. You can hit an animal with xxx bullet and have it bounce off leaving all of its energy in the animal. Same shot with different xxx bullet that zips through without any bullet deformation. Leaving much less energy in the animal. Neither one is good. Thus the best purpose for the energy value of a given cartridge is to compare one to another. Clear ballistics gel testing with video is getting closer to the front of the stove. Just time and money. I am not sure that that data transfers directly to animals. They are the variable that can't be duplicated. [/QUOTE]
