[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 887104, member: 63748"] Reviewing the analysis in Duncan MacPherson’s book [I]Bullet Penetration, Modeling the Dynamics and the Incapacitation Resulting from Wound Trauma, [/I]there are some similar observations posted by big game hunters. Although the book is focused on handgun ammunition and human sized targets at much closer range, there is good discussion with the analysis in this book and a correlation to what hunters are reporting with big game trauma and incapacitation. Similarities I have noted. 1. Increasing the weight of the bullet analytically creates greater wound channels. 2. Larger caliber bullets that are practical create more wound trauma than smaller calibers judged as “adequate.” 3. There is no “magic bullet.” If we are discussing one caliber and weight of the LRAB as adequate however the incapacitation results from this particular bullet not meeting our personal “incapacitation” expectations, shouldn’t the discussion also be meaningfully geared toward heavier and larger caliber bullets of same make? I wonder if this post would have been different if the deer was anchored with the 210 LRAB shot from one of the 300 Mags? There is a reason why I choose my all around one gun from antelope to elk from close range to long range as a .338 shooting a 300 gr (even if they turn out being two different guns and bullets). It’s not that other options are not “adequate”, it’s because of the noticeable increase in trauma and incapacitation with my hunting experiences. Each of us will ultimately have to determine our “adequate” use in the field and live with the results whether meeting our expectations or not. Is a bullet to blame for not incapacitating an animal yet performing to design? Are there other contributors such as impact velocity, shot placement and angle, CNS trauma or lack there of, etc. Practically heavier and larger bullets create more wound trauma. Could this decision practically assist a hunter with their decision in the field? [/QUOTE]
