[QUOTE="lerch, post: 74817, member: 3115"] I guess I may have worded some of my statment wrong in the beginning because goodgrouper hit the nail right on the head. While i still pose my question just so I can see what everyone here prefers, this is exactly what I look for in a shot. A high shoulder shot that stikes bone upon enetering transfers much of its kinetic enrgy into the core of the animal hopefully shocking into a somewhat paralyzed state. This is what we see in the BEst of the West video's where it looks like the elk got hit by a truck he falls down so hard. What I was getting at by talking about a bullet not exiting was a bullet that was striking in the vital area. I nmy own shooting experince I have shot two deer with heavy bonded bullets thinking that these high preformance bullets would just slaughter the animal, only to have the hardest blood trailing experinces of my life. After that I have shot most of my deer with light jacketed ballistic tips and sof points and the majority of these deer have dropped on contact. My point about a bullet stopping inside an animal is this and I will pose it as a question. A bullet traveling at a fairly fast rate of speed hits a animal and penetrates to roughly the middle of the animal and then stops after flattening out a decent amount, wouldn't this bullet then transfer all of its forward momentum into the animal creating a tremendous concussive force?? And if this is true and the bullet was representative of the animal it was shot into, not a 22 cal into a moose, then wouldn't the shock the bullet causes most likely cause the animal to collapse from the impact??? I am not trying to **** anyone off this is just something that made sense in my mind, which might be a scary thing. Thanks Steve [/QUOTE]
