[QUOTE="edge, post: 200905, member: 5030"] Let me elaborate. If you throw a bullet at a deer, you may raise a welt, but highly unlikely to kill it! Bullets make larger than bullet diameter holes by going VERY fast. A SLOW bullet is no better than a field point arrow! Unless you have a "magic" bullet that can determine the amount of energy that it will expend traveling through an animal, then it may exit, or it may not on a long shot where you are taking a risk on crippling an animal. IMO, if I have a choice between a bullet that makes a 2 inch entrance wound, and a 1 inch exit wound and continues on at 1000 fps. OR A 3 inch entrance wound followed by 12 inches of penetration with the bullet left inside the animal, I will take the exit wound EVERY SINGLE TIME! Just one more thing, a 200 grain bullet that stops inside of an animal is STOPPED! It is not doing anything to the animal in the way of damage... edge. [/QUOTE]
