with that, Does anyone then really need to apply an energy formula for hunting bullets?


Again, go back to school.

Ft-lbs convert to newton-meters, not newtons.

Newtons are a measurement of force. Newton-meters and ft-lbs are a measure of energy.

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.
