[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 202461, member: 3776"] The 475 is about 300 FPE behind the 243 when compairing a 100 grain at 3000FPS and a 420 in the 475 at 1350. The 420 is the preferred wight for large game IMHO and experience.. If you want to shoot large game with a 243 have at it a vary naive approach in my opinion and when penetration is short a causes a problem be sure and report it.. One shot complete pass through and the Bull went no where less FPE than a 243, yet much better penetration and tissue damage [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/jwp475/parker_buffalo-1.jpg[/IMG] The next 2 photos are of the same Elks rib cage This one is the exit of a 180 grain from a 300 Win with an impact velocity of approx. 2600 FPS for 2700 FPE [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/jwp475/HuntingPicturesfrom2006060.jpg[/IMG] This one is the exit of my 500 JRH with a 440 grain at 950 FPS for 882 FPE [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/jwp475/HuntingPicturesfrom2006061.jpg[/IMG] FPE doesn't look very accurate to me.....
