[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2744055, member: 115658"] I shoot mostly small calibers. Should I need to shoot some big beast that for me would be anything over 100 pounds I would select a solid copper bullet to assure deep or complete penetration in all circumstances. Diagonal shots are common, needing 3-4 feet of penetration thru muscle and bone to destroy vital organs. Hydrostatic shock is another factor - this transmits energy to central nervous system to disrupt brain & circulatory functions, but adequate velocities are required. Best to limit range to assure adequate velocity and minimal time of flight to assure a good clean kill. [/QUOTE]
