Hydraulic shock is created by finding a bullet match for the game that expends most of its energy inside the game. While retaining as much original weight. With less pass through shots. This type of bullets would be bad to shot a deer in the ass with. Although it will kill it no problem. It will make a complete mess out if the guts. And not reach the vitals. More I understand about hydraulic shock on game in real life hunting the more I like bullets that lend a hand that way.
