Taylor KO Value Calculator
A very clever calculator that allows you to figure the Taylor KO value for any given cartridge - all you need to know is bullet weight, bullet diamater, and velocity. Taylor KO (TKO) values are an alternative way to measure cartridge effectiveness on game. TKO is a more realistic comparison than bullet energy, in my opinion.
