[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1754793, member: 92702"] What he is trying to say is any bullet if deiven fast enough into enough resistance will fail to penetrate. It is a combination of the two. You have to have enough momentum. This comes from weight and sectional density. All bullets no matter what the construction have an ideal operating range. This can be overcome to a point by using a bigger gun that will cause more damage in all situations asumming the animal offers enough resistance to upset the bullet. This is why sometimes a load that will destroy the front end of a deer may not even kill an elk with the same shot. Seems to make no sense, but play around with big fast guns and you will see this happen [/QUOTE]
