Here's why in my opinion ft/lbs of energy is bunk.A 22-250 with a 60gr projectile @ 3500ft/s produces 1741 ft/lbs of energy while the load you speak of .475 @ 1200ft/s with a 400 gr projectile produces only 1300 ft/lbs of energy.It is what it is but I'd rather face critters with the .475,again just my opinion.

But if energy is the way you have written wouldn't any projectile that does more than just fall out the off side be a waste?
