You left out the third side of the debate , bore diamiter or bullet frontal area.
IMO a fast small cal will not kill any better than my slow large cal.
I hunt with a 45/70 rifle and a 44 mag revolver and both kill better than the velocity or energy says they should.
No, I spoke of this on the opening thread (wound channell) which defantley is part of this debate. Thats why I say energy is not what kills.
Like I said above a colt 45 has only 375lb energy at 25 yds.
