[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 478066, member: 24624"] I agree with Outlaw6.0 and would summarize as follows: (1) You have to hit your target. Which means that you need a load that agrees with your rifle. Past some arbitrary distance, BC becomes increasingly critical in order to mitigate our inability to judge conditions. (2) Damage to vital organs is a function of #1 and the terminal characteristics of the bullet at impact velocity. Monolithic bullets stay together better, but tend to require higher impact velocity to function optimally (frequently 1800-2000 fps). While jacketed bullets expand easily, but may not function as intended when impact velocity is too high. [/QUOTE]
