I am not sure, fortunately, most factory ammuntion sites will list the energy of various loads.

When I was in high school, the unit for energy was calorie, or more specifically kcal. But it would be too girly if we talked about how many calories our guns had, and those big magnums with lots of calories might make us feel guilty.

P.S. Amps sounds more rock n' roll.
