Let's take Hornady .308 155gr TAP for example.
https://www.hornady.com/shop/?page=ballistics/popup&product_sku=80928
It does 2785 fps and has 2669 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle (2577fps and 2285 ft/lbs at 100 yards).
My understanding of mechanical energy is that 1 ft/lbs of energy will move a one pound object one foot.
So with the above TAP round, is it capable of hitting a 1 lb object sitting at 100 yards and moving it 2,285 feet?
