[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 1604193, member: 107258"] True enough! Not really more energy per se but the blunts do a fine job of delivering it to the critter in such a manner that the target absorbs a lot of it - think about heavy bullets designed for dangerous game. The rapid expansion associated with most standard round- and flat-nosed bullets means pretty impressive wound channels and therefore (hopefully) quick & effective kills. The only drawback is that these pills do tend to limit the options for longer shots, as their BCs result in rapid loss of velocity and energy. Kind of like using a shotgun with slugs on a deer drive in thick cover - not great when you reach the open field at the end of the cover, but devastatingly effective when you know your shots will be have to be a quick response at close range. My apologies to the long-range-only readers here...but as I mentioned in an earlier post, experience teaches lots of different lessons! [/QUOTE]
