Again, I will match a 400gr .458 bullet at 1600fps against a 30-06 180gr bullet, any day of the week when it comes to punching through gallon jugs of water. Use a FMJ 30 cal bullet so expansion do not interfere with penetration. I have seen it done MANY times, you'll see the .458 bullet pass through 10-15 jugs and the high velocity, high BC bullet will be lucky to go through 6.
The big slow heavy bullets DEFY the "normal" theories of what makes a bullet penetrate.
You want examples, go to the
http://www.garrettcartridges.com/luposafaris.htmlGarrett Ammo website and click on Lupo Safari's link. Read what the lowly 45-70 does to animals like the Rhino, with a bullet traveling at under 1600fps. There is no way in the world a 30 cal bullet at 2700fps and with a 550 BC, and 200gr weight would even come close.
