[QUOTE="Guest, post: 10803"] Gowge, I fully understand stopping power vs killing power. What I'm syaing is that you are looking at data from over 100 years ago. Bullets today are substantially better. A 416 Weatherby with a 400 grain X-bullet that retains all its weight is plenty of stopping power for a grizz. Over 6400 ft/lbs or energy? It retains almost all its weight? C'MON! Have you ever hunted with a barnes bullet? In both the stories you mentioned, problems were encountered by mistakes not being undergunned. Should we all use rifles so powerful that problems are caused BY excessive recoil? [ 05-02-2004: Message edited by: John M. ] [/QUOTE]
