    not at all surprised to read you type that about the lighter bullets killing faster on wallabies...
    over the years I have tried lots of projectiles,admitedly only up to the 64grn factory loads but the 50grn really soft projectiles are far and away the most emphatic...the z max Im running now are devastating ...I believe the little bit of extra speed helps the lighter pill blow up better. the 50grn hornady spsx I used years ago was the same.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    ive found a significant difference with a 165 gr 30 cal from the 308 to a 300 short mag, that extra 400 fps is devastating.
