[QUOTE="bobinpa, post: 3045094, member: 10991"] I'll just assume that you are joking or being sarcastic when you say that energy doesn't mean anything..... Let me try and reduce this to a VERY basic level... [B]ALL[/B] bullets create energy. Good hunting bullets retain their weight and mushroom well. If a bullet mushrooms well it creates a wound channel. Bigger bullets that mushroom well create a bigger wound channel than smaller bullets that mushroom well. That's just common sense or at least I thought it was and it has been proven by shooting into ballistic gel. There are numerous tests and videos of tests on the internet for hunters to watch. When you watch the videos and see a .308 caliber bullet shot into gel and it creates a 3" wide wound channel, it did that with energy. It takes energy to displace the gel or muscle tissue.... All that bullet construction does is makes sure the bullet mushrooms well and retains it's weight so it can penetrate further and create a deeper wound channel with ENERGY. Then there is this thing called Hydrostatic shock. The more energy a bullet creates the more hydrostatic shock is created and hydrostatic shock is some nifty stuff. It can create damage in parts of a body that weren't even touched by a bullet. It creates this damage by displacing the fluid in a body and causing shock waves. The more energy, the more shock.
