I don’t think moose man is that off base about the wounded animals from pass through ordinances.
In my mind ignoring KE in a kinetic round seems unfounded.
But accuracy limitations due to felt recoil is something all hunters should consider.
Accuracy trumps all.
So I suggest choosing which bullet you shoot most accurately, and the manufacturer of the bullet recommends it for the size of game you are hunting. In my mind the OP has some good choices.
I like Barnes bullets, I also like 200 grain NP s, ever since mule deer pointed out they were ballistically superior to the 180 in the 3006.
The one thing I read here on the campfire was how poorly the 200 grain hot cor did shooting a beef cow shoulder knuckle. ( perhaps I am in error……..I hope so….cuz I got a pile of them)
U might need a double tap for 9 mm and 45 acp to stop a human……..but how about the 44 rem mag?
