[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 152934, member: 7999"] You are absolutely correct. Can't go wrong w/ "heavier is better". I have a 30-06 loaded w/ 180 grn bullets that takes care of everything on the north american continant. This is all about the fun, and thinking outside of the box. This is why more than one caliber exists. If what I am doing dosn't work I can very easily go back to 200grn accubonds at 3200 to 3300 fps. For that matter I can go back to my 3006 180grn at 2700fps and call it good. What would be the fun in that? The theory behind bullets had to take a dramatic change when rifles broke the 2000 fps barrier. If I am not mistaking the same kind of dramatic changes are happening now with the 3000fps mark more and more readily broken. Unless I am terribly missinformed bullets kill by creating a wound chanel. Knock down power does not exist. Penitration is the goal. More important, penitration with maximum disruption. Penitration is created by energy. Energy is created by speed and weight. Disruption caused by the reaction of the bullet on impact. Maybe someday the lid will be taken off the box you are in and you can look to see what is outside. Steve [/QUOTE]
