[QUOTE="300magman, post: 659961, member: 24769"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’ll throw out the very limited first hand experience I have with big slow bullets to get things started. (although it isn’t really all that useful to the discussion)[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Probably obvious, but a soft jacketed 300gr hollow point does a fine job of stopping medium sized deer quickly (as in no tracking required, but not quite DRT) with broadside shoots, leaving little meat damage on 1700fps impact speeds, and no major bones encountered on the pass through.[/SIZE][/FONT] I can also testify that 405gr soft jacketed bullets are adequate to penetrate a 240lb buck’s neck a velocity of 975fps. Stoppage was immediate, but that’s a given with a spine impact at the base of the skull. Full penetration was achieved, but a tiny fragment of jacket was found with the bone fragments. Meat damage was surprisingly light. (compared to modern cartridges) [/QUOTE]
