[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 452420, member: 26633"] I would have to side with 4Lclover, I think you said it best. The heavy 338 has the drive through energy for penetration at the same time slowly expanding. If the bullet remains inside then that "dumped" energy is what you have. If from a high speed light for caliber "soft" constructed bullet hits and "blows up" then there you have your "dumped" energy if you hit something hard before the vitals. Heavier and slower doesn't usually expand violently, hence the smaller wound channel. My thoughts are the more tissue damage; the quicker the death. Any animal will not run far at all when their lungs/heart or both are liquified. I do believe there is a certain amount of shock that kills. That shock is from bullet expansion and destroying vital tissue from driving through at a high speed. I shot a wild hog once with a 22-250 tucked in behind the shoulder,(a balistic tip) no exit wound but he only ran 50yds. [/QUOTE]
