[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 25161, member: 8947"] [b]Re: Newby here..... Just a few ????\'s.[/b] If you are expecting impact vels 2500fps and lower, forget about a "tough" bullet. The Nosler BT, Hornady SST and Amax are much better choices. I presently use the 165gr SST in my 30 cal rifles and love it both for performance in flight and on game. Should hold together even for 3000fps impacts. As to 1000ft/lbs, I too am not a big believer. If the bullet gets to the boiler room and busts some vital organs, the animal will go down. Going down fast or slow is a matter of the state of the animal. Been there where tiny cartridges and/or small bullets have flattened big game and seen small big game take big energy and wander off "dead" and not know it. Got to hit them in the right place first... Jerry [/QUOTE]
