Which bullet has the most energy?
Hornady FTX: This 300-grain polymer-tipped bullet is designed to expand. Its rated muzzle velocity is 2,075 feet per second which develops 2,868 foot-pounds of energy.
What Round has the highest BC?
26 Nosler
With the highest BC bullets, the 26 Nosler remains supersonic beyond 1,750 yards.
What rifle cartridge is the most accurate?
Today, the most inherently accurate factory cartridge is probably the 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s designed for accuracy above all things, and its heavy, highly streamlined bullets buck the wind much better than the little slugs from the . 222.
What is better a higher or lower ballistic coefficient?
A bullet with a high BC will travel farther than one with a low BC since it will keep its speed better, resist the wind better, and “shoot flatter” (see external ballistics). When hunting with a rifle, a higher BC is good for several reasons. A higher BC results in a flatter flight.

How much force does a 9mm bullet have?
What it means is that the round generates 400 pounds of force when striking a solid object. Again a human body cant stop the 9mm at 10 feet on impact. The term footpounds means that it takes X amount of energy to move X amount of pounds a foot into the air.
