How to calculate your Hunting round Energy

Tackleberrywho

For all you guys with a chrono

http://www.1728.com/energy.htm

Input grain weight feet per second and it will calculate Energy

It also does Metric!

Lets see what Energy really is out there

3200 fps required to get a .223 deer legal in Ireland (probably impossible)

And for you .22-250 guys

Hornady 50 grain Superperformance in a 24" barrel is deer legal!!!!


Test Barrel (24") Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs)
MUZZLE 100 200 300 400 500
4000/1776 3517/1373 3086/1057 2694/806 2334/605 2003/445

No. It's not. Bullet weight must be 55gr or greater.

Oh yeah, I forgot

The 60 grain is over 1700 anyway boys so not to worry.
Although for foxes 50grain Superperformance all the way!

Superperformance is some ammo :eek:

Anywho!

Very interesting calculator to take the Maths out of it for those who don't like Maths!!

And very useful for thoise who are considering chopping a few inches off their barrel to see how much energy they will lose.

All one needs is a Chrono.

Big thank you to Tomcat220 for Loaning me his
