[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 173535, member: 3776"] I agree with James Jones energy figures will not tell you which cartrdges, bullet combo will be the most effective. Example, I will post 2 pictures of exit wounds in an Elks rib cage (both exits are in the same Elks ribs) Exit of 180 grain from a 300 Win at approximately 2600 FPS for 2700 FPE I am holding a 300 Win Mag for size comparison in both pictures [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/jwp475/HuntingPicturesfrom2006060.jpg[/IMG] Exit of 440 grain flat point fired from a 500 JRH with a muzzle velocity of 950 FPS and 888 FPE [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/jwp475/HuntingPicturesfrom2006061.jpg[/IMG] I will assure you that the handgun round with 888 FPE did the most damage from start to finish. They both also went thraough a rib on entrance This shows once again that FPE is a bad perameter for gauging effectiveness I also do not put much faith in SD numbers as I have seen lowwer SD bullets out penetrate higher Sd bullets on a consistent basis, but that is another story [/QUOTE]
