Now this is extremly interesting to me. It is really hard to argue a physically measured test.
Shooting aprojectile into a common medium at a common distance filling the channel and measuring the fill - this is how I understand it. Not much roomfor speculation.

He found this wound channel volume to be proportional to the product of the kinetic energy and momentum of the projectile.[/blockquote]
I think I understand the principle momentum + energy ='s a channel. Volume of the channel then can be measured - makes sense
Close but more accurately, momentum
x energy ='s a channel volume.
This does make a lot more sense to me, but then again that worries me a bit if I understand it or do I understand it because the list of projectiles in the order arranged looks about how would have arranded them off the top of my head.
Well, I started working on them in order by cartridge. I pretty much knew how they would turn out, except, the 7mm Mag was pretty much equivalent to the 30-06, which surprised me. Also, I wasn't for sure where the roundballs would fall in. Try this sabotloader. Just pick a cartridge or your favored ML load and try to guess where it will come in. I think you'll find that your hunch is corroborated by thekinetic pulse value. go to the link below for the online calculator.
