[QUOTE="Professor Doolittle, post: 2278408, member: 118902"] For ELR hunters, do you think it’s possible that part of the reason an animal can be hit but not go down is not just because the bullet has low kinetic energy after all that distance but because the spin of the bullet is keeping it parallel to the axis of the bore which is pointed somewhat high in the sky so when the bullet hits only part of the momentum is behind the tip, that the bullet is hitting somewhat broadside, spreading out the impact energy on a bigger surface area of hide rather than a point puncture.
