[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1414452, member: 2736"] Oddly enough, The bigger bullets normally do less damage to game because if the jacket thickness, (Jackets are normally thicker because of intended use and stress from barrel engraving. They are normally built for tough skinned animals and Trucks and armored personal carriers and when used on North American game they don't meet with much resistance and pass through without transferring all of there energy to the game. I have tried my 416 on deer and It was amazing how much energy was transferred and how little meat damage it did. (There was practically no shock damage like there is with high velocity cartridges). and when it struck the shoulder blade, it punched a neat hole through it and all of the meat was edible. The only downside that I can see is that many states don't allow its use for hunting. and many also have a weight limit for rifles that eliminates the big 50. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
