How would a slower heavier bullet cause more damage? Penetration should be taken out of consideration with.45 cal's on deer sized animal. I fail to see how a WFN of .451 or 2 will do more damage that a HP that has expanded to .750 or so at the same distance/velocity.



Most do fail to see how this is possible. depending on the size and toughness of the game is is very possible and happens consistently


Is that an explaination? I am using whitetail as an example. You are saying it is possible and it happens consistently which is a contradicting statement.

Your shotgun analogy is not very scientific either as each deer can and sometimes do act different than each other when being shot. Do you have a video showing a ballistic gell. test showing the pressure waves to support a slow/heavy vs. fast/light bullet?
