[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 1796016, member: 40966"] I have seen more than 100 head of big game fall to the 180 Berger VLD alone. Many, many of these kills were 'bang-flops' even without hitting the spine. You have to have a pretty high impact velocity to get it. Research done on feral goats years ago showed that the status of the heart at impact was the biggest factor in instant death. This was based on complete autopsies including the brain. The researchers concluded that the heart had to be full of blood in a certain chamber (left ventricle??) and this caused a tsunami of blood to impact the brain causing instant death. I don't think you can have a bang-flop without impacting the central nervous system; either hit the brain or the spine, in this case the brain is hit with a surge of blood causing instant hemorrhage .
