I've killed a number of elk and deer with muzzleloader bullets leaving the muzzle at around 1,500 fps.

If animals always die from "hydraulic shock," and impact velocities of 2,600 fps on up (as you say) are needed to cause it, how do you explain the death of these animals?

Was it divine intervention?
