[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1903748, member: 14435"] It is true that a bullet exitting takes some energy with it, the question is how much? If it exits at 100fps or 1000fps it makes a big difference. One is 600ft-ibs one is next to nothing. There is of course no way of testing that on an animal, but there has to be a way to come up with some good geralizations. Also run the same bullet, lets say a 215 berger, at 30-06 speed or 300rum speed. The 300 could exit the far side and still transfer more energy into the animal. [/QUOTE]
