[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2425089, member: 106845"] I feel like we’re saying the same things, yes? I didn’t quote a specific velocity because it does depend on other things. When I talk about minimum and maximum impact velocities, it’s more of a rule of thumb and it’s been based on the type of bullet and its construction/composition as well as other variables, and how well or not it’ll ultimately produce adequate expansion and penetration, not so much whether it’ll produce hydrostatic shock. Hydrostatic shock is a great bonus to have and impart, but it’s not something I absolutely strive to have. Ultimately, I want to focus on producing sufficient trauma and blood loss. Having the ability to drop the animal in its tracks is great and something I definitely want, but it needs to bleed out or succumb to asphyxiation before it can recover. [/QUOTE]
