[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 3067649, member: 5352"] This is because bullet deformation in a liquid like media depends on dynamic pressure so the animal is “hard enough” to expand the bullet. Basically, at a certain impact velocity, the “deer” is harder than the bullet as the material can’t get our of the way fast enough and the bullet deforms. As the bullet penetrates and slows down it will stop deforming. You can impact steel plate at much lower velocity and there is plenty of energy to deform the bullet Just saying - minimum expansion velocity alone is not an indicator of killing power any more than energy is stand alone Lou [/QUOTE]
