Thread: A question for the doubters

Horses for courses.
It's not all about energy.
Not the same as deer I know but for dangerous game like cape buff 5000ftlbs out of a 416 is not the same as from something smaller and faster.
The big calibres need to smash and break bone and lots of it hopefully taking out some soft bits on the way.
Back in the day they even promoted solids but recently the premium softpoints can do the majority
They even have calibre restrictions for that reason. Again not the same as a deer really as we do know that the smaller calibres can work and work well.
What we do know is that there is sometimes less leeway and smaller margins of error
