But you knew that already.
How does a deer die from being hit by a car? There is no penetration.Of course there is massive trauma but what caused it?
Think about this,small calibers don't kill as fast as large calibers,WHY? Both the small caliber and large penetrate through the lungs and neither stops inside the animal,which one will be a faster kill?
Or both stop inside the animal,which one will cause the quicker death.
Hit a deer in the shoulder and the bullet doesn't penetrate into the heart lung area,it will still die if it is a large enough caliber,this will not hapeen with a small caliber.KE does kill but like most of you,I prefer to have a hole through the heart, lungs.
I have chosen loads to have complete penetration through both sides when in the hands of a child because I want blood in case of a bad hit.
