@DaisyI’ve read every major ballistics book and paper. I love the stuff.
Energy doesn’t kill an animal IMO. Tissue damage kills an animal. Modern bullets cause more tissue damage than older ones.
Only time energy matters at all is withe dangerous game.
If a bullet passes through then most of the energy is given to the dirt or tree or whatever on the other side.
Give me a smaller caliber faster fragmenting bullet any day of the week.
Go read the “223 for deer, bear, elk” thread on another site. Just google what I have in parentheses and read 100’s of examples.
Individual experience is tricky. You could have been doing the wrong thing your whole life, not know it, but think it’s the right thing. You have to look at data from multiple sources to actually get the full picture.
I’ve seen a lot of shit shot in my life. The bigger you go on caliber the lower the average number of steps after impact they take even on marginal and non vital/cns shots. There are calibers which almost always sit them down instantly but most don’t hunt with them.Please. You haven’t hunted much if you haven’t had an animal run after shooting it. Sometimes they drop instantly. Sometimes they won’t. Anyone here being honest would verify that.
@DaisyWhat does hunting elephants have to do with plains game hunting?
Humor usually hides poor arguments
