Penetration, the important figures to use to gauge or compare, or even predict on game performance, are sd, impact velocity, and bullet construction.

Again...energy calc is useless info, except to tell you what you’re going to feel when you pull the trigger.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night. Without energy you don't have penetration. This isn't an opinion. This is a FACT.
