Questions about the irrelevance of energy (ft-lbs)

[Quandary]

is it though?

need sufficient sd and construction for game intended to go with that impact velocity, it's a few variables that have to come together, most of our options are in the wheelhouse, it's the fringe ones light on one of the items needs to compensate with more on the other items

but but....if you have a 123 gr eldm dump 55 ft/lbs per inch of work over 18" or a 123 gr mono dumping only 27 ft/lbs per inch over 36" and you've exited the animal after 15"....is the energy actually irrelevant? are you taking the eldm option or the mono option? which one do you expect to be more drt and which one do you think will be the 100 yard runner most commonly?

look at Forms bambi, you think ~240 ft/lbs per inch over only 13.5" is irrelevant?

round 2, FIGHT!

hehe

Yes it is. Energy is a measure of work. How that work is used is what is relevant. see post above.

These are so hard to understand…. Math calculations of nonsensical BS is a much better “visualization”. Give or take.


168gr Amax-


180gr Accubond-



168gr Barnes-






Which one would be better here?

168gr AMAX-



180gr Accubond-




168gr Barnes-

Looks like more energy was transferred by the Amax
