Re: What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?
I've killed hundreds, maybe over a thousand groundhogs with everything from a .22 handgun, a bow and a heavy barreled, target stocked 7 MM mag. Some were dead instantly, some weren't. Your argument proves nothing. I know people and animals are different but they are both flesh and bone and my point was that I wanted a little more penetration than I got on flesh and bone on three small animals.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

180 grain home brew HPs.
Bullet....Rainier 180gr HP
Powder..5.3 grains W231..I have about 3 grains wiggle room before they are +P
Primer...WSP
FPS....950-965 average ( factory Winchester 180gr HPs were 971 average fps)
I`ll load and carry 200 grain HPs when I can find them and then work them up.
Haven`t done any expansion tests due to the fact that, my lovely wife that I would die for has taken the recyclables, (gallon jugs) to be recycled. SOK honey.

GUTSHOT!! Very undersireable, but it can happen. Myself, I would have head shot him to finish him off. If you are out of ammo, a shovel works, but a thrusting\slicing blow with the blade of a spade to the neck decapitates and kills cleanly. I doubt "self awareness" has any bearing whatsoever with this.
Pain is pain.
