[QUOTE="calling4life, post: 2900017, member: 48454"] I've got a 458 lott load using the Hornady DGX bonded coming from them, they note 2600fps for over 7k ft/lbs. Normal 500gr 458 lott load, like my Federal 500gr trophy bonded bearclaws, are 2250-2300 fps. I also ordered their 500 S&W 400gr CEB solid load to try. I bought a chrono as well to test and see what velocity I get, if it's materially close to what they note. But I spoke with the CEO, seems a genuine guy that loves big bores. It'd be interesting to see that 10mm CEB solid tested for straight-line penetration, put up some angled boards or other "bone like" material and see if it keeps its straight-line trajectory or if it veers off course. (I don't tend to like penetration tests where everything is perpendicular, bear skull likely won't be perpendicular to a guy...) I'll be doing that with that solid out of my 500 S&W, depth isn't so huge for me because they'll have the depth, it's the straight-line performance that matters. General knowledge says sectional density is a good predictor of a bullets resistance to lateral forces, I. E. straight-line penetration abilities. And that generally means the heavier the bullet the better. But like I alluded to earlier, modern day materials, modern day ballistic engineers, the all copper solids being longer for weight, the proper sized MEPLAT/ flat front to facilitate straight penetration. And they seem to do great. Though I like to test/verify for myself. [/QUOTE]
