[QUOTE="Brent, post: 10804, member: 99"] I've shot plenty of hardcast bullets, a lot higher than 1200 fps too, never have seen any expansion in wet sand, any, and it's far harder on bullets than anything else ever is. So, I seriously have doubts about the claims of expansion with these 12ga slugs, but it isn't even necessary though, and likely counter productive for BB protection. That's why I use the 300gr hardcast's in my 44, and 310's in my 454, so they don't expand and get best penitration. They are already making over 40 cal holes in the critter (about like a high power expanding 30 cal) and need every bit of penitration they can get. Still, the .750" - .900" holes the 416's and larger produce with expanding bullets at higher speed is a tremendous step up from a pistol or even a 30 cal rifle, no doubt. John, aren't those energy figures for the 416 WBY just sick! Still haven't recovered a 400gr X bullet yet, but I haven't shot them through anything that had much of a chance at really stopping them either. These 330gr HV BT GS Custom copper slugs I just got it sighted in with now are said to have a BC of over .550, so if they can be bumped up to 2900 - 3000 fps they should be outstanding at LR, or up close.
