[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1972574, member: 67552"] That is more the issue than killing energy if there is such a thing. I have pushed a 158gr XTP through a bucks lungs with about 600 ftlbs of energy and got complete penetration. minimal expansion but adequate tissue damage and after about 35 seconds blood shooting out both holes and dead deer in 45 seconds. A whitetail at full tilt can go a long ways in 45 seconds and if there was no snow I would have had a tough track to follow. Without good and rapid expansion you will still end up with a dead animal, but you are depending on blood loss from a less traumatic wound. I would stay within 600 yards with the Creed myself.
