[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 51609, member: 268"] OK, I'll add my 2 cents here. First, I agree that no bullet will knock an animal down like a wrecking ball would. The way see it animals go down for the following reasons: 1. Overwhelming shock to or severing of the central nervous system. 2. Oxygen starvation to brain or muscles from bleeding or non-circulation. 3. Destruction of critical support skeletal structure. Any hit that causes one or more of these to happen will drop the animal, regardless of velocity, energy, or caliber. Any hit that fails to cause one of these to happen will fail to drop the animal, regardless of velocity energy, or caliber. A marksman who understands these three principles and the capabilities/limitations of his equipment is the most critical part of succesful kills. Good shooting! MM [/QUOTE]
