I have always ignored muzzle energy figures. The Taylor values seem better as comparison, which is all muzzle energy is.
The Taylor KO factor multiplies bullet mass (measured in grains) by muzzle velocity (measured in feet per second) by bullet diameter (measured in inches) and then divides the product by 7,000, converting the value from grains to pounds and giving a numerical value from 0 to ~150 for normal hunting cartridges.
I know this is not anything new,but it fits in with the and supports the findings, I think.
