This is pure conjecture based on nothing except your preconceived notions which is exactly the point I was trying to make in the first place. Beyond this, we know that humans act very differently when shot than animals do so when we're talking about self-defense loads, hunting experiences are irrelevant.

Because YOU don't notice your target acting differently doesn't mean THEY aren't experiencing a difference.

One thing we know for certain, that 250 fps additional velocity and the additional energy generated "may" not have any additional effect on your target, but it damn sure isn't going to make them feel any better!

And now that I've already wasted more time on this topic than I should have, I'll leave you to it.
