The formula for energy is mass times velocity squared. Which translates into layman terms that increase in velocity has the edge over mass.
Yeah and I want to see you choose 45 ACP, to knock down 200 meter Rams, over 357 Magnum.
How do you figure? You made the statement that bigger diameter bullets yield more knock down/momentum............ yet you choose the smaller diameter bullet to to knock down the 200 meter Rams. Can't have it both ways.
Normally, I stay away from this sort of debate but you have piqued my curiosity.Till it doesn't.............that's why factory 357 125HP record more one shot stops, in the real world, than 45 ACP!
