Stopping power is whatever you can deliver a bullet DIRECTLY to the CNS with in the shortest possible time !
Stopping power in terms of stoppping a charge even if you miss the CNS is another thing altogether -but the one most of us talk about and what we want.
Perfectly stated Nigel!
Another item to support the above--I recently read that along with caliber restrictions on dangerous game there is also muzzle energy requirements with most countries have a 4000 ft/lb requirement with the exception of Zim which lowered their's to 3500 to accomodate the 9.3 calibers..while I realize this does not mean they are true "stopping" cartridges...experience suggests AGAIN..bullet placement is paramount...
