Just the "wallop" effect of that big ole bullet whacking something is better understood by witnessing it than trying to explain it, or having it explained.

Does it "whack" stuff harder than a 12 gauge magnum slug ? I killed a lot of deer with various 12 gauge slugs and was never overly impressed. Particularly when weighed from a recoil vs effectiveness point of view. Same for heavy conicals out of my .50 cal muzzleloader. I got quicker kills on average from many smaller, faster bullets. Perhaps on bigger game the big punkin chuckers would be more impressive but for deer you can keep them.
