[QUOTE="Talkyn, post: 850587, member: 68891"] All my research, experience and intuitive thought mirrors this statement exactly. IMHO, making a hole in an animal is fatal. The bigger the hole, the better. The more vital organs you punch your hole through, the better. I would suggest that momentum would be a better figure to refer to, but still largely useless alone. Caliber diameter, flesh toughness, whether or not you strike a bone, bullet expansion rate, bullet toughness....There are so many variables it's very hard to break down what works best for what reasons. I'm under the impression that this forum is chock-full of reliable information that generally supports the 1800fps minimum figure in most circumstances. If you really want to know what a given bullet will do at 1800, 1600, 1300, etc... Shoot some media like homebrew ballistics gel or wet phonebooks. I'm hoping to do some of that myself in the near future. [/QUOTE]
