[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 166789, member: 4885"] I've seen many animals taken with everything from 22/250 up through 50 cal. muzzle loaders and 12ga slugs. Although I can't quantify it, I put a lot of faith in frontal area. I've seen dozens of Muley's shot with small diameter fast bullets that had 2000lbs energy and wasted at least half of it on the hillside behind them. I'm still amazed at how a larger diameter bullet with less ft/lbs tends to really hammer animals. Many authors/gun folks have attempted to quantify this exact question. You can probably find info on some of the following writers/formulas Taylor Knockout Value Hatchers Relative Stopping Power John Wooters Lethality Index Most of these base their values on the energy multiplied by area and shape of the frontal area.
