    Numbers don't mean much in a practical hunting context. There are only two factors that do: 1. Bullet placement - If you can't hit a vital area, all you do is wound the animal. 2. Bullet penetration - Unless the bullet reaches a vital organ (brain, heart, spinal column, etc.) beneath the...

    Information about W. Buchele Needed
