[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 247592, member: 8"] Kirby, the reason I mentioned it in the first post was as a courtesy to Eddie. He has some choice in the "exotic" he shoots. If he selects some fragile little African antelope to shoot, then it will be not much of a test of the bullet and most of us will not know much about how to interpret the pictures. I would rather mention it [U]before [/U]he shoots than whine and complain [U]afterwards[/U]. Being as I had plenty of pictures to prove my point, I posted them rather than just run my mouth. If he shoots a garden variety hog then many of us know something about bullet performance on a hog. They are pretty tough and will make a bullet work hard to do its job The second post was because LV asked how much the antelope weighed. I posted the pictures to demonstrate that[U] antelope[/U] weight has almost nothing to do with exit holes and that range has almost nothing to do with exit holes [U]on an antelope[/U]. Your conclusion and my conclusion are the same- [U]Some Animals Are Not Good Test Subjects For Some Bullets[/U]. Blowing an eight inch hole through some Thompsons gazelle is not IMHO much of a test for a high velocity 338 bullet or even a slow velocity one for that matter. Plus the cape is going to have a really big hole in it. :D Just to say it again. My first post was just courtesy to Eddie to remind him of what he already knows but may not have thought about. In the end it is his money and his choices and his trip. [/QUOTE]
