[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2515734, member: 92702"] Yes, I'm playing. I read Nathan's stuff a while back. If memory serves he qualified everything with different bullet types, which is correct. I remember it being an interesting read. I think the temporary wound channel has as much to do with it all as anything. Here is an example: shoot a deer a hundred yards away with a 300WSM and a hotloaded 165gr Ballistic tip with a low heart shot blowing out the heart and a bunch of brisket. Watch him run. And run. Over 100yards he may run. Replay the exact shot with a high lung shot. High enough that the temporary wound channel reaches the spinal cord. In this case maybe 1/3 above center or so. Deer is DRT. There might be some bruising in the very front of the backstraps. This is experience not conjecture. The bigger and faster the gun the closer you have to pay attention to bullet construction. Also the bigger and faster the gun the closer attention you have to pay to shot selection and point of impact. With the little guns it is important for quick kills. With big ones it is important to know how big your temporary wound channel is up close with the bullet you have selected, and avoiding heavy bone at all costs. Hit a heavy bone with a big fast bullet and the animal will explode. [/QUOTE]
