Orka Akinse Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Is there a table of muzzle energy values for each deer legal calibre out there? I've looked on t'internet but nothing really hits the mark. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you know the MV and bullet weight you can work it out with a simple formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you know the MV and bullet weight you can work it out with a simple formula I know but when doing the math it was as you say so simple, I thought to myself, I'm re-inventing the wheel and it would be quicker to look it up. Surprised its not readily available, at least to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer7 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Gives a reasonable idea at a glance. http://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_ballistics_table2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 OA Probably a case by case basis. MV in fps squared x bullet weight in grains divided by 450240 = ME in ft lb If you want this in Joules for HME or being metric then ME in ft lb x 1.355818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers diferent for every combination of Bullet powder load etc and then every Barrel lenght so not that easy you can get a ruff idea from factory ammo specs but they are usually in set barrels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
