An expanding bullet is designed to create a large wound channel, tearing blood vessels through a wound channel several times the diameter. of the bullet. The more blood vessels it tears, the quicker the animal bleeds out. In the case of a bullet not having enough velocity to expand, it simply doesn't tear as many blood vessels, so the animal bleeds out much more slowly. My moose still died, it just took longer.
