Re: 505 gibbs vs 460 weatherby ?

Can you expand on your thoughts behind
"Shooting solids one would think the larger diameter of the 505 Gibbs would make it preferable."

Their seems to be a difference once you get to 2400 fps ie 458 cal above 2400 as opposed
to 2100 - 2200 but IMHO, if hunters spent as much time practising with the firearm and
learning to shoot better and place shots better with it in the field and less about whether
the velocity is 2150 or 2200, then I think the animals we hunt would be better off.

In alot of instances, the faster you push a SN bullet, the faster it opens up
and the less penetration you get.

Re 700 versus 600, I really don't think you see a lot of difference.
