[QUOTE="alremkin, post: 82456, member: 3345"] Frist let me say I agree there's been a lot of progress in bullet design especially in the last 20 years. Regarding the tumbling bullets I think the author was refering to the 223 when it first came out in the M-16 it was reputed to have "awesome" killing power because the bullets would tumble in their target. I agree the 375 RUM is a great caliber for long range shooting, but I'm looking for a short range stopping rifle. I'd like to see the science agree with experience. The conclusion Taylor reaches: He thought that this would lead the hunter to believe that a small bullet, at high velocity, would be more effective on big game than a slower, heavier bullet. He stated that based on his hunting experience this was not so. [/QUOTE]
