[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 897070, member: 48043"] That is why some of us are talking two different bullet weights. One to optimize existing cals like the [EMAIL="375h@h"]375h@h[/EMAIL] and rum, and a heavier weight to really make the bore diameter shine with 378 wby and above. The 375 cal has enough frontal area that Taylor KO factor nearly has more meaning than energy assuming the bullet can be engineered to actually expand at all useful ranges, so I am not as concerned about energy as the ability to flatten trajectory to a usable arc. If I can put two holes through a deer or elk with one bullet that will be sufficient. A bullet like the disconinued barnes mrx could be engineered with a poly or aluminum tip over a gaping cavity (to ensure expansion) but enough "junk in the trunk" to actually have enough weight to act like a standard lead core momentum and density wise. Make it a bore rider to drop pressures and be able to get a real head of steam on it. [/QUOTE]
