[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 639186, member: 24624"] [b]Re: Any hole will do...[/b] FishPermitonthefly, You make some good points. i.e. A hat pin through the heart is more lethal than a bowling ball in the buttocks. The question that's usually up in the air is what bullet weight, sectional density, construction, velocity, etc... is most likely to damage the most vital tissue given that pinpoint accuracy may not be attainable either due to a lack of understanding of biology, environmental conditions such as distance and wind, or poor shooting skills. Dead is dead. But, it's nice to have some margin for error. Some choose a strategy of maximum penetration, exit hole, blood trail. Others side with maximum expansion, perhaps even fragmentation to cover a larger area within the cavity. Some might even fall prey to marketing gimmicks such as "Zombie Killer" ammo. They can all succeed or fail depending on the circumstances. Besides.... what else are a bunch of old farts going to do when we're not out hunting. -- richard [/QUOTE]
