Listeners questions and comments

MEAT DAMAGE: TWO SOURCES

• Extreme impact velocity
  • Hydraulic shock
  • High-velocity cartridges
  • Light-for-caliber bullets, pushed extremely fast
  • Extreme-BC bullets, pushed fast
  • Animal matter's effect on bullets
  • Low-velocity impact dynamics
• Extreme-expansion bullets
  • What stresses a bullet during impact
  • Fragmenting on impact increases shock transfer
  • "Soft" bullets rupture and fragment. Maximum meat damage results
  • Tough, controlled-expansion bullets hold together and penetrate. Less meat damage results
• Bullet placement for minimal meat damage
  • The behind-the-shoulder shot
  • The on-the-shoulder shot
  • Species-dependent preferences
• How to field-dress and process around bloodshot meat
• Is bullet-related meat damage ok? 
  • When it results in a faster, more humane kill
  • When the bullet that causes it makes you a more capable hunter
