[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1874889, member: 5412"] I've been busy, but we need to discuss this. Your statement is a basic definition of kenetic energy, that has no application as far as terminal ballistics relating to bullets and their performance on game/humans or what ever. Bullets are constructed by the manufacturer for different applications. Fragile for varmints, medium construction for deer sized game, and heavier construction for elk, and other large animals, and finally solids for dangerous game in Africa. I've shot deer with .45 ACP, .44Mag, 230/240 grain HP, in pistol rounds, .55 grain bullets in .223, and 22-250, at 3100-3575- fps, Deer and Elk with 165 grain 30-06 at 2800 fps, deer with 150 grain .300 Savage, and the count goes on. I have had only one round not do a complete pass through. It was the 230 Grain .45ACP that hit the leg bone on the opposite side. It actuall exited the chest cavity, but lodged against the leg bone on the opposite side. I have recovered some 250 grain Muzzleloader Barnes rounds in the opposite side. Discuss. [/QUOTE]
