[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 443295, member: 4867"] Trout, Here is something else I've been thinking about for a few years. When I shot antelope with my 300 regardless of which bullet I was using at the time, I didn't get the "knock down" I was expecting. It' seemed my old 270 Winchester killed better. When I shot deer, they seemed to react more but I still didn't see the "knock down" I was expecting. However, when I shot elk, they had more reaction to the shot. I was puzzled why the larger animals seemed to be hit harder. Maybe and this is just a blind *** guess in the dark, the larger animals absorb more of the energy. Hitting an antelope with 2487 ft. lbs. of energy at 400 yds, how much of that energy ends up in the dirt behind the antelope. Hitting an elk at the same distance, I would guess that the bullet would expend more energy going through the larger elk. Hell I don't know. Just rambling now... [/QUOTE]
