[QUOTE="buzby, post: 3044221, member: 120420"] Bullet design has a greater effect than bullet weight. A 6.5 Berger rapidly coming apart inside an animal at X amount of energy is going to do more damage than a .338 fmj of double the weight, and double the energy. If you want an exit. And the bullet taking half its energy with it out the other side of the animal, yeah, you’ll need more energy to reach the same end. A bullet can perform quite well, with a pretty small amount of energy if designed to do so. To the point that energy isn’t a common measurement to determine lethality anymore. [/QUOTE]
