Ok. So this question is for handgun hunters, but anyone with more knowledge than me, please chime in. " that should be an enormous amount of people."
But if rule of thumb stands, it requires 1000 ft lbs energy, to require hydrostatic shock, wouldn't that eliminate all handgun hunting for deer, ect... I haven't checked the 500 S&W, but from what I have seen ballistics wise, even the .44 Mag doesn't hit that mark. We can argue, shot placement all day long and I get that. Hogs can be slaughtered with a .22 short at point blank range. We can argue distance as well. We hopefully won't
