It makes the fact you haven't any real world experience with them clear as a bell. Energy smenergy. Your pretend calculations are interesting though. I tend not to do math calculations while shooting but instead focus on being mean, and Barnes bullets are mean if breaking hips and shoulders with the same bullet brings a tear to your eye.
