In full context, what I wrote was "If you have a particular bullet and want to insist its velocity matters, only then are you correct because you are also talking about a particular mass as well as velocity - i.e. energy."

Energy = 1/2 * m * v * v

I would also add that for a particular mass and velocity, momentum is also a known quantity.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
