I shot a mature whitetail with a .340 on the run at better than 400 hit him behind the feed bag, infront of his hind leg no vitals he died, some internal bleeding but not that much. I then read an article about what the heart was doing on point of impact and thought maybe that was why? Watched my father shoot a mature whitetail with a 6.5 at 150, 200, 400 dropped it all three times, never found it. That bullet has great SD, hand loaded as well pushing better than 45000psi. Both come into play for a hunting bullet. One thing I'm certain of everything i have shot with a hand loaded 350 barnes 'X' out of my .416 Weatherby has died and i have never had to use a blood light, spend hours looking or watching anything run away wounded.  My dad calls in the never have to track anything round, I call it the best all round caliber, everything dies....so far. |
what does thid post have to do with the myth of energy transfer?? The only thing I read is that , according to you , we should all shoot a .416 Weatherby
Another trend I've seen in this thread is the Berger, Ballistic tip, sst endorsers are the ones who believe in the energy myth.
