That calculator could very well be used to calculate the energy of a car collision or a bag of oranges hitting something. Calibre and sd are valid just as much as velocity energy and bullet construction. Bc matters when figuring out the velocity after flying a distance.

Iclunds chart is the first time ive seen a decent number of hand loads included.

Beyond charts and sd and penetration estimates. There's always the unpredictable scenario of how skin muscles and bones are organized for a hunting shot. Nothing can guarantee the same result over and over. Energy momentum and bullet construction assist with overcoming the unpredictable scenarios
