Tissue damage is a function of velocity and diameter of projectile (and many other factors). A high-velocity but smaller caliber rifle bullet can easily damage more tissue and cause more blood loss than a larger, slower-moving bullet. Additionally, blood doesn't need to drain out of the hole to cause death; many people have died of internal bleeding.
