    i think they just push the meat out of the way rather than tearing it

    with the subx they are dead before they hit the ground

    I shoot for the upper chest when doing dog food and gravity gets reeeeeealy strong for them when im using 300blk but the 44 seems to just injure them


    for sure the sub x is a better designed bullet but i wouldnt expect it to do much inside a peacocks body thickness and softness
    the lead cowboy bullet of the 44special are pretty boring but at the same speed Id think that they would create a bigger wound cavity but its not what im seeing
    half the peacocks shot with the 44 run off and not one needs a follow up with the 300blk
