Keith, re-reading your comment on hydrostatic shock called to mind an article on one of Roy Weatherby's early "test hunts" in Africa.
He used either a .270 Wby or a .300--don't now recall--and shot an eland in the hindquarter, from the side. (Lousy shooter?) Anyway, it was a one-shot kill. The eland dropped like a stone, per the article. The obvious question is, what else BUT hydrostatic shock could have killed the animal?
Anyway, R.W. always claimed that the kill-efficiency of his (then) ultra-high velocity loads was due to hydrostatic shock...
FWIW, Art
