[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2479116, member: 12443"] Energy alone dosent kill animals. Tissue damage and blood loss is what kills them. I have personally watched animals get hit with 300 grain bullets in very good locations and simply walk away as if not even hit. Mind you now they all died, but that wasent caused by the initial energy from the hit alone. Ive also seen them get back up on their feet after being knocked down with the 300 grainers and appearing to be dead. Again, they didnt go far before dieing, but it takes more than energy to put them down and keep them down. Will the heavier high BC bullets perform better from a shooters standpoint at the extreme distances? Absolutely they will, but that alone dosent mean they are a better choice for hunters. Will their be a difference between cartridges sending the 300s at 3250 or more as compared with those sending them less than 3000? You bet, again its all related to velocity. [/QUOTE]
