I haven't done the energy calculations but I will say that both deer literally exploded. The biggest piece left was a deer head. I'd say it confirms the big/slow projectiles really do kill.

Well, I think we have a winner in the "non-rifle" category. My calculations put that impact at 45,292,630 foot pounds with a 714,000,000 grain projectile. grin

If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.
