I disagree with this.

Like you say you have to damage the CNS for something to fall in its tracks. There are plenty of centerfire calibers, and bullets, that don't have enough energy to reliably do what you say. Plus you have to figure distance into this statement also.


I'll agree with you - if you miss the spine on a high shoulder shot and don't have enough energy to "shock it", then yeah a smaller caliber won't drop it. I guess I was referring to successful high shoulder/base of neck spine shots.
