jpk all i was stating came from the pages of wrights book.have you ever read it or do you just disagree with his view.it is your right to.when your book comes out i will be glad to read it to.plenty of elephants have been slayed with soft bullets.look at all the black powder and lead bullet kills that have been talied over the centuries.a solid is but another means to do it it is not the only way.as far as hard bullets read the chapter on them and the test he preformed.if you dont believe him sell the book there are plenty of people who still want to buy it.this pot is far from being cooked its just simmering and being stirred.
Interesting in that historically FMJs or solids were advised for a LOT of African hunting because the softs at the time were so unreliable. Unlike the excellent bullets often available today. Re Finn Aaguard comments.
But I must say I have only ever heard of FMJ's and "solids" being advised for elephant.
