gorse you make a lot of sense and it's all true what you say except the part about energy, energy does nothing, it doesnt kill, it doesnt create wound channels, it doesnt expand bullets, its a theory, it's mathamtical equasion and depending on who's energy theory you use you come up with two different numbers. Einstiens theory or newtons, two different formulas that come up with two different numbers, which means nothing really. Wound channels are what kills and a pass through is a bigger wound channel. bigger bullets also leave bigger wound channels, but so do small bullets at high velocity , they just dont penetrate as well as bigger heavier bullets. however were talking a whiteatail deer here which is rarely wider than say 18 inches and does not offer much resistance in stopping a bullet when shot in the vitals. There is no way a little 'ol deer rib is gonna stop a .22 bullet traveling at or over 3500 fps. The .22 centerfires are just as poisonous to deer as any other caliber. how can 130 gr bullet be adequate for a 1000 + lb animal but a 50 gr not be for a 150 lb animal.
