Default RE: Caliber and bullet choice for Deer. Why so heavy?

ORIGINAL: DANTHEHUNTER

I agree with Paul, I think most people see the impact of a bullet and the reaction of the animal as one movement.If you watch a slow motion video the two reactions are very noticable. Someone said something about a cement block , that is not flesh and bone , not to sound smart but that is alot of difference. I have shot deer with a .220 swift and up to a 45/70 and never knocked one off its feet like its being said, I would think a 45/70 at 30 yards 400 grain flat nosebullet at 1850fps would just about do it ,if it was possible.
So because you havn't seen it, it can't happen? I never said that concrete blocks were the same. He was talking about firewood and shareing his experience, and I was explaining, yes, it is possible and yes it does happen. He was trying to use physics to back up his claim, which didn't make any sense.
