[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1398466, member: 10291"] While this may not be relevant for most LR shooters reading this thread, I thought it might be interesting. The is a .458, 480gr Woodleigh SP(handload from a necked down 470 case) shot from an old 500-450H&H Double express rifle at 2100FPS. Back in the early 90’s I shot a big male Lion at 21 Yards. It was a frontal chest shot. The slug was retrieved from under the hind quarter hide. This lion absorbed the full 5000ft/FP of energy. The retrieved slug weighed 475gr, about 98% weight retention....diameter the size of a quarter. This was the second shot. The first, behind the shoulder, had full penetration, no bullet retrieval.
