[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 851087, member: 41122"] Its not always about how much energy a bullet has but how much can be transferred to the intended target. This was the sole purpose for the creation of the slow flying 230gn 45 ACP. Flat nosed lead bullets are wonderful for hunting because there ability to deform, and there flat nose aids in the transfer of energy as well as initiating a very stable, straight traveling expansion, that in my mind creates an ideal wound cavity as well as tissue damage . Another interesting trait of these bullets is that the recovered projectile is usually half the weight of what was fired. If it is not it either hit bone and exploded or exited the animal wasting energy. For purely hunting, a lead wadcutter will probably be close to an ideal design. However they fly like a brick. I prefer my bullets pointed. [/QUOTE]
