Default RE: For All you 223 Fans

I don't understand the fasination with knock down power either.. When have you ever seen a deer knocked to the ground by hitting them directly behind the shoulder? There is not enough mass in that area of the deer to stop most bullets. They will pass thru.. Those smaller faster bullets usually don't pass thru but rather explode inside.. Both of which results in massive internal damage that results in death.. A deer will only be thrown to the ground when you hit substantial mass such as the neck or shoulder and the energy from the bullet completely transfers to the deer. Two puncutured lungs will equal death. I don't care if the hole is 1 inch or 10 inches.
