Energy is there, however it’s essentially useless figure for determining penetration. Does that help?

Penetration, the important figures to use to gauge or compare, or even predict on game performance, are sd, impact velocity, and bullet construction. Energy and larger diam. can give more wound channel damage but it’s fraction gain compared to the disproportionate amount of recoil is not direct relationship. Again...energy calc is useless info, except to tell you what you’re going to feel when you pull the trigger.
