[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 341890, member: 13632"] My wifes uncle shoot a 416 with Barnes bullets and every elk he shoots requires tracking, they are dead on there feet but never drop. He loves the big guys, 416 and a 458. The wound looks good but I think it is not dropping a big slam of energy, just a slow drop through the entire length of the wound. What make the larger cals so effective, does the larger bullet cause more shock, cavitation or a faster, larger pressure loss? What would the difference be between a high velocity fragmenting bullet and a large low velocity controlled expantion bullet. The high velocity imparting 100% of it's energy into the core of the animal and the low velocity emparting energy compleatly through the animal but still retaining some after exiting the animal. Not picking any fight just some question on my mind, I have to be at work but not expected to do anything :rolleyes: my mind is wandering. [/QUOTE]
