As I quoted, guys like you read and believe everything or have a mind set. You haven't read between my lines, nor am I going to paint by numbers for you. However, think of this for energy and where distance plays a factor. A 30-06 just fired a 200 grain bullet, the energy of the bullet is not equal at 100 yards as it is at 200 yards. Diameter plays a roll as well. Think of this, 243 dia. vs 500 dia. using a little common scense, no don't go to your books or google, which has the the most energy. Now be a little open minded instead of having a mind set on whatever text you read.
