    I don't get the deal with always using the same weights. Round numbers and the like. Surely there is an optimal weight and shape for a diameter, and I'm sure it does not fall on a round number. I guess its for old reloading data.

    As far as the impact velocity goes, why not? Super high BC projectiles are super long, have super high sectional densities and penetrate like crazy because of it. Like arrows. So they will penetrate even when they are very fragile. If you achieve penetration through shape not robust construction, you can have a very wide effective impact velocity.
    This.
    Last few deer I've shot with my 6.5x55 using 140 amax doing around 2730fps have been: First one went through the shoulder and straight out the other side taking a leg bone with it. The second through bones -> leg,rib, rib, leg and straight out. Lost a bit of meat because of it too.

    I swear you could Texas heart shoot a deer with a 6.5 and it will still come out the other side.

    If you show up for our trip with those empty like that, I dont reckon you will get a turn at being the Daddy

    Do you want me to grab you some duty free? I will be grabbing us a port or whiskey. I already have a bit at home and would have more if Sneeze wasnt such a guts.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    I'm just cleaning up the dregs. There's a few more bottles of Irish and Scottish go juice in the cupboard. It's good to keep the palate tuned.

    Sneeze and I sampled a bit of both Irish and Scottish. Probably more than we should have due to the rain. We went thru 3 ltrs of whiskey in 6 nights.....well he did, I barely got a sniff
