[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2596866, member: 1521"] Gel blocks don't tell us what dying animals tells us. I used to shoot groundhogs with 95gr VLDs (6BR). Several hundred GH's were blown all to pieces. But a significant portion of them would drag what was left of their bodies to a nearest hole, even while they would never survive. I tried 50gr FB BR bullets from a 223, and found every GH shot since laying dead right where they were hit. Not so much as a death kick from them. Yet, I would have to pick up the GH and shake it, looking for a tiny blood spot, just to see where it was struck. The difference I suspect is that zero energy is lost with the 223/50gr, while a great deal of energy is lost (carried out the backside) with the 6BR/95. The 223/50 is knocking GHs out, and they lay there peacefully dying from ruptured/torn internals. [/QUOTE]
