The big bullet will also destroy some meat. If the bullet hits the animal wrong, and does not hit the right spot it will destroy meat, and the hunter will not get enough meat that he should get off of the animal. Sometimes people will shoot animals with low powered rifles, and just do not go look for them. If the hunter shoots a animal with a high powered rifle very far away then the hunter may not want to go look for it.…
