Not exactly ,the sniper does not need a blood trail or a quick /humane kill ! His reason for pulling the trigger is to incapacitate or get other bad guys involved (target rich ) . Use the wrong projectile weight /construction and you screwed up (your fault) , perfect placement / yardage guesstimate and your poor choice works ,but if your wrong call the tracking dogs .Avoided by using the right bullet at the right yardage works every time if the critter holds still and you don't choke /You are correct. . .a non-pass through means the full shock force of the projectile is expended in the animal, which
creates the most damaging kill shot. It may not produce the best blood trail, but it will expend the full FT/lbs it has at
the point of contact into the animal, if it doesn't go through.
Ask any sniper, they will tell you the exact same thing. . .
