[QUOTE="5gauss, post: 1735728, member: 107371"] I worked with many veterinarians who would tell me an animal hit through both lungs is dead but will go until the oxygen to the brain is insufficient...so say 5-15seconds depending on how big the hole is. Heart can be gone..does not matter as long as oxygen is still in the brain blood. A very fast well constructed bullet going very fast creates more hydrostatic pressure/damage/shock so they will not go as far, and if you happen to hit a shoulder it will go on through and not "blow up" on the big bones (happens a lot with standard factory loaded bullets...use premium) I have hit big Mule Deer at 300 yds with .257 Weatherby 110 gr Accubond both lungs and went 2 steps. Over 3000ft/sec (not sure at 300 vel) Damage to lungs was severe. Shot placement is key.... [/QUOTE]
