Zero,

I actually have a degree in engineering and it is more complicated than just comparing the impact velocity vs the exit velocity.

There are way too many variables in hunting and no two shots are the same.
If you are using a fairly high velocity rifle and not getting the energy transfer that you seek, may I suggest a more fast opening bullet? Perhaps a NBT, sierra game king, accutip or something similar. IMO you do not need a partition, bonded, failsafe, or any fairly tough controlld expansion bullet for broadside shots at deer.

just my .02 cents take is for what its worth.

I believe if I recall correctly in Jack O'conner's Complete book of rifles and shotguns he referenced Cap. Crossman who felt that a .25 caliber 100 gr fast opening bullet travelling at 3000 fps was IDEAL for deer sized game.
