[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 296615, member: 11717"] A .50 cal round ball also makes a big hole. You dont have to worry about the bullet expanding because it is already expanded. That bullet also wieghs wayyyyyy more than a 110 -120 gr 257 bullet and although the velocity is less the weight makes up for it giving it better momentum which is what pushes a bullet through an animal. Forget the energy. Energy dont mean didly. Momentum is the best measure of the force of a bullet. But hey, I'm with ya on the 26-06... up to 700-800 yds, depending on the MV of the bullet. But If I step out the door looking for elk, I'll be carrying a 30 cal rifle if I have one. -MR [/QUOTE]
