[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 887216, member: 30902"] Energy imparted and expended into the target is they key. Compare a small canoe and large boat traveling the same speed side by side. Which causes the greater wake (disruption) through the water? Bullets make a concentric or conical shaped wake through the animal they strike as well. All else being equal the larger bullet is going to deliver more energy and cause more disruption. Only if we are all shooting the same caliber and weight. Keep in mind that there are differences in construction particularly thickness of the Jackets when you talk about different weight/calibers. The ideal the designers are looking for is to get consistent performance throughout the spectrum and that's not easy. Possibly but again, he didn't get a solid hit on the critical anatomical structures necessary for a DRT first or second shot. You still have to strike or come very close to the heart, major vessels, spine etc to get the desired effect. There is more margin for error with the bigger, higher energy projectile than the lighter, but still you have to put it in the "kill zone". Again, the importance of shot placement. Those all have a significant influence on the final result. [/QUOTE]
