Slow and Heavy VS. Fast and Light

[Eb1]

In handguns, Bigger Is Better. As for rifles, that is not always the case. Yes, it is. I was just kidding.
But seriously not always.

Quick little website that allows you to punch in 10 different bullet weights and velocities to compare the resulting energies. http://www.firearmexpertwitness.com/customguns/calcnrg.html

Energy created by the bullet is influenced by velocity more than mass since Velocity is squared in the relationship.

the problem is there is no way to compare bullet design weight and it's terminal effects mathematically.

Real world testing is called for and there aren't too many people whose results I would trust.
