[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 541663, member: 9253"] This list says nothing about the distance of the shots. . A bullet at 2900 fps at short range will have 5 times more energy as when it approaches it's maximum useful supersonic range at under 1300 fps. That's more than the difference in energy of a 375 H&H versus a 243 Win at the same distance. My point isn't to say a short range 243 performs the same as a long range 375 H&H, it doesn't, but stating a cartridge is suitable for a game type without considering the range and bullet characteristics makes no sense to me. Likewise hogs are on the list. Hogs exist in a greater 5 to 1 range of weights. Size matters. I consider such two parameter lists (cartridge name vs game name) to be more misleading than useful.
