I’d prolly never choose to hunt with it but I can sure drool over the numbers!
Andrew, I’m so aware of all that and agree with most of it. Some pretty key stuff though you’re wrong. Penetration doesn’t happen without impact velocity and sd...bullet construction plays its part.
Well aware that fmj for elephants is extreme needs, skulls etc. Well aware that our game we prefer the results of controlled expansion bullets...we aim for the softer bits usually and much smaller animals. You will not be able to teach me something here as I feel like you’re just getting started, no offence meant. Greater energy and diam. may give you bit bigger holes and wound channels. But penetration can suffer if you don’t keep that sd up.
