well... lets see if I can start a fight in here...

I may be a little strange... but I love looking at ballistic charts. I literally could sit and study them for hours. They have always fascinated me. I find it interesting though that there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how to calculate a cartridge's power. So far I've seen the ft/lbs, momentum and the optimum game weight and there may be others. So, do any of you ballisticians in here have an opinion on the BEST standard to calculate cartridge power? If so I'd love to here your opinions on all sides.

Thanks,
