[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2515827, member: 5437"] My takeaway from when I dove into Foster's writing was that the "hydrostatic shock" induced a temporary coma and then the animal bled out or otherwise died. If they recover from the shock before death, they can get back up. Made sense when I read it and still think he is on the right track. He certainly has more experience than most. I don't recall anywhere that the over 2600fps or shock was required for a clean kill, just that it was required for that particular set of conditions, ie to induce the temporary coma. Without a cns hit, the shock was what gave the struck by lightning, instant results. An animal shot end to end with my 45/70 and solid flat points is no less dead than one with the 300 PRC and (insert your favorite expanding bullet here) with a massive energy dump. It just happens differently. [/QUOTE]
