RE: most powerful .22lr round
According to my calculations the Velocitorof 40 grains at 1435 fps gives a muzzle energy of 184 ft-lbs.
the Aguila super mag of 30 gr. at 1750 fps has a muzzle energy of 205 ft-lbs. Aguila is the most powerfull.
Me= 1/2 MxVxV
where Mass is in slugs, 1 slug =32 lbs
Velocityis in ft/sec
