Guys, do a little experiment sometime. Shoot a pumpkin or a jug of water with a .22 rimfire and watch the effects. Next shoot it with a 22-250 (same 40 grain bullet weight). Tell me if you see a difference in the damage and why. Both bullets will penetrate through the target but the effects will be dramatically different.
Fill, me in. I would love to know.
Also, explain why the scientists in the following article believe in hydrostatic shock. There is some contraversy to it though. I believe in it. Show me the proof, don't just tell me I am wrong. I have seen the damage done on many animals.

BTW I agree 100% with Crazy Fool's post above this one. His experience and logic is the same as mine. Prove us wrong with some of your logic, guys. This is indeed an interesting subject that obviously many intelligent people disagree on including scientists.
