9mm luger for deer hunting

[351 WINCHESTER]

I should have been more specific, but my intent was that the deer would hear the shot before impact, it could move enough to make a good shot into a poor shot. That .08 of a second could be the difference between a wounded animal or a clean kill. I never said, nor intended to say or mislead that a deer could outrun a 9mm slug, that is utter nonsense and you are completely wrong in assuming I would ever believe such barf.

No it won't.

The deer's brain wouldn't even have enough time to register hearing the sound much less fire the nerves to control the muscles to dodge the bullet all "matrix" style.

That's what I'm talking about.

And again the deer only has the DIFFERENCE in the sound vs the bullets time in flight to work with. Which is roughly .03 seconds or about four times less than the .12 second reaction time attributed to whitetail deer by bow hunters

Again that just the time needed to BEGIN to react to the shot and doesn't allow the time needed to generate the momentum to move far enough to create a "bad" shot.

9mm Luger for hunting deer ?

My 1st reaction to seeing this thread was, is alcohol involved in the thought and/or hunting ? I have at least one gun that would qualify, but why would I even consider a 9mm with all the available options I have . Otherwise, this is only a hypothetical thread .

Looks like this horse is breathing with great difficulty.
