[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2302736, member: 10755"] I have always been a heavy for calibre dude at a fast velocity for the caliber. A 338 cal 285g bullet above 3100fps is an absolute hammer on anything that walks. A 375 cal 260g bullet above 3000fps is an even bigger hammer. I never look at energy figures, bullets do not kill by expending energy, they kill by causing tissue destruction from the cavitation from the VELOCITY of said bullet disrupting tissue. Without velocity, the damage is LESS. The higher the velocity the more damage. KE in bullet killing ability is so stupid, it’s not funny. I can push a baseball fast enough to have the same energy as a bullet, but it doesn’t kill very well. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
