Frequently Asked Questions
FPE stands for Foot-Pounds of Energy, a unit of energy commonly used to measure the kinetic energy of projectiles like bullets and pellets.
The formula is FPE = (Weight in grains × Velocity in fps squared) / 450240.
The constant 450240 converts grains and fps to foot-pounds. It comes from the conversion factors: 1 lb = 7000 grains, and 1/2 * m * v^2 in imperial units.
