The information below is from Hornadys web-site.
In essence, a bullet going through soft tissue has the same effect as dropping a stone into a pail of water - if the stone (bullet) enters the water slowly, the water (tissue) displacement is so gradual that is has little effect on the surrounding molecules. If the stone (bullet) enters the water (tissue) with a lot of momentum, however, the surrounding molecules have to act a lot more quickly and violently, resulting in a splash (temporary cavity). Temporary cavitation is important because it can be a tremendous wounding mechanism.
Hence, "
Hydrostatic Shock" or as i prefer to look at because I understand fluids a little better -
'Hydraulic Shock'. And now my belief that the greater the greater the '
SUDDEN SHOCK' the animal receives the greater the opportunity it will
overide the animals
'Fright & flight Response' which for me means a lot less tracking. Two steps is good for me!
