[QUOTE="LB, post: 74778, member: 2721"] You may like the idea of expending all the foot pounds inside an animal but it does not work that way in the real world. You have so many presentations, at so many different ranges that it is impossible to shoot the same size animal in exactly the same place at the same distance. Better to "waste" some of those foot pounds on an exit. That, you can do. It's repeatable, within reason. The stay inside crowd always forgets that they get a surface splash when their animal is too close. The margin for error, between "getting" inside, and "staying" inside is only exceeded by the ultra light, super fast bullet that blows up "before" it gets inside. It is hard to demonstrate on large game animals, like moose, for instance, because you don't have enough data to compare. However, since I have killed a lot of large predators, over the years, I can tell you that the complete pass-through is the most reliable. Less runners, and a better blood trail when the occasional runner does occur. Short answer: of course I want an exit, and so should everybody else. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
