Bullets kill by combos of four mechanisms: bleeding, destroying the nervous system, asphyxiation and septicaemia. To achieve fast on the spot killing your bullet needs to interact with the central nervous system. This can be achieved directly with a shot to the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, the brain or the autonomic plexus. This also can be achieved indirectly through hydrostatic shock which is generated by the transfer of energy of the bullet into the flesh of the creature creating a pressure wave which then travels to distant nerve centres in the animal. When this pressure wave initiates a loss of consciousness the resultant wound channel then bleeds the animal before it has a chance to regain consciousness, assuming you’re hitting it with enough speed and energy – which you just fucking aren’t with a breathless .357.
K.E. = ½ mv2
So to transfer kinetic energy to the animal, the velocity affects the result BY THE FUCKING SQUARE. This explains why .357 is a hopelessly inadequate conduit to transfer energy to the animal as a big game cartridge.
> I prefer 7mm Rem Mag for deer actually, since it allows me to make clean shots at longer ranges. Yeah no shit retard ever wonder why that is? Funny what a difference an extra 1200fps makes you fucking moron
