[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1364396, member: 96226"] I don't want to say ridiculous but I might go so far as "dubious" or even "highly speculative". So, you're shooting meat right? Then there's definitely one more large set of variables there. The consistency/tone of the meat and connective tissues (could be seasonally related), exact angle of projectile entry and what bones, tissues and organs were impacted not to mention the mental state of the critter (was it all tensed up & flooded with adrenaline) was it at top/middle/bottom of the natural breath cycle, etc... not to mention impact velocity which will be the major contributor to bullet deformation. I'd really like to undertake or at least read a study exploring this. It's almost certain to have purely academic results but that's right in my wheelhouse. I love reading purely academic studies.
