    Just remember you cant lump bullets/weights performance together. Impact velocity is the thing not range, differnt cals and cartridges Can push a pill to a wide velocity range.

    30 cal amax 168gr impact vel 2180 fps
    Behind shoulder meat no bone between ribs.




    Both lungs anihalated run 50 odd yards due to taking out top of heart as well.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.

    Stag that was on the ute behind the pic of the Hind.





    Looking forward to seeing what another 200-250 fps muzzle velocity will make

    That & straight out raw horse power or ftlbs in this case, obscene amounts

    Bullet expansion is only part of the equation, 4-5000+ ftlbs is going to really sting
