Bullet Energy Calculator

• 124.0 gr at 1150 fps generates 364.1 ft-lbf (494 J).
• This load falls in the "Small game" category based on standard hunting energy thresholds.
• Velocity has a squared effect on energy: doubling speed quadruples energy, while doubling mass only doubles it.
• You are 36 ft-lbf below the "Small game" threshold (400 ft-lbf).

Next stepFor hunting, always verify that energy is sufficient at your maximum expected range, not just at the muzzle - bullet energy drops with distance as velocity decreases.
