Big difference in stopping someone OR something that wants to kill you and you only wanting to kill something. A good center double lung shot will kill anything on the planet, given enough time. It will not kill say a charging grizzly in the time it takes the bear to you. It has been proven many times, heavy , well constructed bullets penetrate deeper making it more probable to get to the CNS or skeleton support system.
Killing, stopping OR even turning an animal that's hellbent for you on tonight's menu is where it's always been for me, whether hunting dangerous game or other game where the nasties live, I've always planned ahead for such an encounter, as remote as it may be, planned, planned hard and practiced nonetheless.
