[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 1861272, member: 11853"] Some say there isn't such a thing as knock down power,I think there is.I've guided on quite a few deer hunts,mostly kids using small cartridges like 243.Sometimes it's really hard to tell if a deer is hit when it runs off.On the other hand,shooting a 270 or larger,I can tell right away if the animal was hit by the initial reaction even if it runs off.I personally have killed two deer that the impact when hit broke the leg on a deer that was hit in the ribs,not hitting the front leg at all.One was with a 7mag.Deer was hit right behind the shoulder,complete pass through,legs were untouched,but the onside leg was broke below the scapula and not in the joint either.The other was shot with a 30-06.Bullet entered behind the onside shoulder and exited in front of the offside shoulder.Neither legs were hit,but it broke the offside leg,once again below the scapula,and not in the joint either.So saying there is no such thing as knock down power,you are going to have a hard time convincing me there isn't.
