For the most part….the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Thanks Dave--I get that, I'm just wondering what difference the size of the deer makes on the ballistic impact performance of the 180 gr kore lokt 2 through the RUM as discussed. My understanding is either "it is going to turn to jelly mush" or not. I sincerely do not understand how the relative size of what it hits is going to determine whether or not the bullet becomes a "jellymusher."
