    The other factor that comes into play is the Dwell time; the time the projectile is in the body a longer time span delivers more energy
    along the wound channel, High velocity and fragile bullets only delivers energy close to the surface and throws shrapnel all though the body
    destroying perfectly good meat,
    A controlled expansion bullet that expands in the classic mushroom and sheds little of it's weight and exits the body aids in the animal bleeding out
    faster and damages less meat,
    Depends on wether you want hamburger Patties or Steaks.
