[QUOTE="bigred1, post: 3067442, member: 35859"] While terminal energy isn’t the only concern we should have in mind, it is definitely a very important one. A friend of mine tried to finish off a cow elk with a point blank shot from a 357 mag to her neck and the bullet didn’t get past the thick neck hair. I shoot a large caliber with heavy bullets so when my lung shot goes wrong the bullet can get through thick hair, skin and break heavy bones if needed. The old buffalo hunters knew that hair and bone were the enemies of good penetration and therefore used heavy bullets to ensure penetration. [/QUOTE]
