Fackler also said the greatest influence in rapid death is wound volume and fragmentation IIRC.

The other thing with Barnes exit wounds is often they are so small they let very little blood out. As it pertains to the last elk I shot I couldn't find the exit until I peeled the hide off. The entrance was found by chance because there was a single drop of blood at the entrance site. The animal ran 70 some yards IIRC in the snow with not a single drop of blood. And this was after taking a boiler room hit at under a hundred yards from a 30 cal 180 TTSX at 3400fps.
