[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1568241, member: 1656"] Most shot with handguns? That's an entirely different argument. Low velocity handguns and high power rifles kill in different ways. But your thesis that only CNS or blood loss kills is already wrong, and demonstratably so scientifically. If you shoot a deer through both lungs it will die of lack of oxygen to the brain from inoperable lungs long before it has time to die of actual blood loss causing lack of oxygen. Often the same with a heart shot. It's not the LOSS of blood, but the inability to get it to the brain. But I'm just a biologist so what do I know... I agree with J E's assessment of the ideal performing bullet. I like the 240 XTP out of my 44Mag Ruger carbine. A double lung shot under 100 yards reliably results in a two holes, with a nicely mushroomed jacket caught in the far side hide with the lead exiting. Easy (and SHORT) tracking jobs. [/QUOTE]
