Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Now the Kinetic II got me to thinking about what they would do downrange so I punched them in and this is what I come up with.


To have the right foc and spine the Kinetic 400 would weigh in at 460 grains.



speed distance ke
238 fps 0 yards 57.9
220 fps 50 yards 49.5


The ke at 50 yards with the kinetic II is 2.2 ft/lb more ke than the 2214 at 450 grains.If I make the weight equal the difference become 1.7 ft/lb ke at 50 yards.


That gives the the kinetic a definate advantage over the aluminum.

Oh yea,it is also 3 fps faster at 50 yards than the aluminum.Doesn't really matter but just thought I would add it.


This is not my actuall hunting set up.My draw weight will be increased for hunting.
