I never equated kinetic energy to killing power, I just showed the true physical relationships between the bullets and gave my opinion on the results. In a gun fight, I would rather have the potential to transfer the most energy into a target. Their organs will definitely feel it.
Not only do you contridict yourself, you don't even belive what you say.

In all actuality the 115 grain bullett hits with the most energy, but i worry sometimes that its to much velocity for its own good.

The most effective projectile weight for .355" bullets (by "effective" I mean for shooting people to make them desist) is 124g.
You have any data that is not from 20 year old statistics that supports this.
IE you have any data showing the loads in question here.
The proof is in the pudding (or jello as the case may be)
If you look at the actual tests in my last post you will note that the 147 consistantly expanded similar diameters while out penatrating the 124 by an inch ot two.
one notable exception was the auto glass test the 124 did out penatrate the 147 but only because the 124 failed to expand.
