[QUOTE="XSIVSPD, post: 2021243, member: 98308"] I don't think energy numbers are particularly useful when the only reliable stop would be a CNS hit. So long as it has enough energy to penetrate to where it's going it shouldn't matter. Good, hard, solid bullets will maximize the penetration. Trying to maximize energy just leads to slower follow up shots and less practice due to recoil. That said, I think the Buffalo bore hardcast 220gr 10mm ammo claims 1200 ftlbs at the muzzle. Not sure how or why you changed it to be energy at 25yds. A charging bear is likely to be significantly closer than that by the time you can pull the trigger [/QUOTE]
