Edit 2: using.26 * ((Muzzle Energy in J * Projectile Diameter in cm / .735)^.5)^1.12
I get 7d+1 pi++
Huh even better than messing around with 10g


Hang on what calculator is that? I use Damage (points) = sqrt(KE^1.04/Xsect^0.314)/13.3926 and when I put these stats* for the Black Magic 12g 3" in I get 6d pi++

Am I using an old calculator?

(FWIW I think I get 6d+2 using the ballistics table, which it pretty close to the 6d+1 you get just using the HT rules turning a 3" magnum shotshell 1d+2, into slug damage)

*I'm assuming 3,014 energy ft/sec means energy 3,014 ft lbs which = 4016J
