You are missing the point OBG, when you miss with your super duper ultra magnum the shock wave alone will take down your critter. You don't need a big gun if you know how to use it. One of my cousins lives in LA (that's Lower Alabama to you folks that ain't from around these parts) hunts with a 30 caliber carbine, work on anything from rabbits to deer. He has always put diner on the table with it.
