[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 2029371, member: 110473"] No penetration is gained when over-driving .416 bullets. Once you go above 2400-2500, you are punishing yourself for zero gain. Thats why people in Africa still use the Rigby. Same with the .375's. The .378 Wby is answer to no question. Just pointless bravado. I never knew this myself, until I started talking to PH's that live and hunt South Africa. I always thought more speed = more gooder ,but when over-driven, penetration can actually be less on animals like the Cape Buffalo. [/QUOTE]
