This may be the wrong place for this topic, but here goes anyway...
You are planning on rolling up a load for your 10mm (because its your favorite caliber ever) for a back country hike in the Montana wilderness. Its intended purpose is to defend you from any dangerous wildlife you may encounter. Your two choices for this topic are as follows.
Weight Velocity Energy Momentum
135gr 1600 767 30
200gr 1300 750 35
I have struggled with the concept for some time, and the industry seems somewhat torn on it too...While I understand some of the concepts behind the principles of conservation of energy and momentum, and the elastic/inelastic collision differences, I dont fully understand the difference between momentum and energy...they use the exact same variables to derive from, except energy is highly velocity dependent... It would seem to me, than in the woods, and even in many human interactions, one would want their bullet to be able to penetrate...This to me would depend on a bullets momentum, and its frontal surface area on impact...
The simple question is what load do you choose, and why?
