[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2420171, member: 68875"] Just because a bullet exits does not mean it has greater energy when it ENTERS an animal. A lightweight solid that exits with less expansion can have far less energy when it enters than a heavy for caliber cup and core that sheds 50-75% of it's weight as it fragments but does not exit. 637 yds, 7000' AMSL, 30°F: 6.5SLR, 127 Barnes LRX @ 2975fps, 2015fps & 1145ft/lbs remaining, bullet broke both shoulders, both lungs, and a vertebrae and still exited, deer dropped but did not expire immediately. 454 yds, 7000', 30°F 6.5SLR, 130 Berger OTM @ 2925fps, 2386fps & 1654ft/lbs remaining, quartering away, entered behind last rib, took out both lungs and a vertebrae, and deer dropped DRT without a twitch. Bullet found under hide on opposite side. [/QUOTE]
