So, we have the audible "thump," the visible reaction from being hit, and increased blood trail. We also have a feeling that bigger is better.
I have no point of view here - just the basic question - but I wonder if the visible reaction isn't more related to the bullet type than the caliber. JJHACK's bullet reports showed reaction from the Hornady InterBond, but little from the TSX, both in 30-06.
As for larger wounds, I used to believe that, too, until recently. Penetration and wound channel tests seem to be very similar, if I understood the articles and posts right. Also, if the bullet/wound increased, wouldn't we expect to see a difference in time and distance it took the Scandinavian alg (Alces alces) to tip over and fall?
