[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2651286, member: 11132"] As mentioned already. These bullets have harvested many deer and hogs. These mono bullets with there huge expanded petals from water and gel I can promise you do not perf that way in living flesh. They fold back and primary wound path is no bigger than a std mushroom at best. [URL]http://www.outlawstatebullets.com/2.html[/URL] Pick the ones for twist 1:10 up. Expect around 1"-1.5" groups. These bullets expand well down to 800-850fps. Anything from 1-2" groups is plenty for a max range of 100-150yd med game hunting. Do not forget at subsonic vel there is exponentially less air resistance. A subsonic bullet would only lose roughly 300-350 fps vel from 0 to 1000yds. Hunting distance has to do with trajectory, accuracy, and TOF. A 500gr FN FB 458 flying brick @ 1000fps mv is still retaining 638 fps @1k. @ 400 yd is 810 fps the same vel and energy as a 454 casuall at point blank. Point being a 30 cal in the 200-260gr range that can expand to .45 has more power than a 357 or equal to a 44mag at point blank. The issue is hitting what your aiming at. It's still a lousy hunting perf given what we have today. Yet we are fine shooting old flint locks with rd ball with irons at 150yd+ so....... [/QUOTE]
