[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1557177, member: 27192"] KPS = Killing Power Score. It is the KE Energy multiplied by the Sectional Density of the bullet multiplied by the frontal cross sectional area of the bullet. As Energy already considers the weight of the bullet and the velocity of the bullet, it pretty much takes into account as many variables as possible to then give a score or a ranking that shows the relative "oomph" that a given bullet would have at a given velocity. I believe I read somewhere that a score of a "12.5" would be the minimum for class 2/deer sized game. [/QUOTE]
