[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 267214, member: 7999"] jwp is right on. The only thing I will add is that the shape the bullet take after impact also has direct bearing on how much permanent wound channel is created. Permanent wound channel is what causes quick or not so quick kills. The general rule is that a larger dia bullet will create a larger wound channel. Depending on how a bullet deforms on impact can turn this rule upside down. If a bullet makes a round mushroom shape is does not make as much permanent wound channel as a bullet that makes a flat frontal area. This is why the old timers used to load bullets backward for dangerous game close range shots. Steve [/QUOTE]
