Re: 700 Nitro on Elephant

Pulled this photo from Wikipedia; .700 Nitro Express 1000gr bullet and case with a .45 ACP cartridge shown for comparison.
The short fat .700" C&C bullet has about the same SD as a 270gr .375" diameter bullet or a 430gr .458" diameter bullet; it requires a 1250gr bullet to match the sectional density of a 500gr .458" bullet.
