Like I said,you want a hole through the heart/lungs but the massive shock waves kill and kill quickly.With a rifle, both do the job.This is why deer shot with high caliber guns drop in their tracks and deer shot with a .223 run for 100 yards leaving no blood.

How do your shots to the neck kill ,even you bosted about the SHOCK(that shock is KE) as you put it.

Hell,I opened up a deer I shot with a .270 once and there was NO LUNGS OR HEART,they were GONE.This was a 130 gr ppsp wicnchester.That was damage cause from massive shock.

So why doesnt the KE or shock wave as you put it kill a deer when shot in the ass ?
