Actually I am not sure you are correct about penetration, as I have found that flat nose solids penetrate deeper than round nose solids, on ele and buff. So would a more blunt RN penetrate more or less than a less blunt RN? I do not know. We would have to go shoot some ele to be sure.

However, as the former owner of a .600 NE, I cannot recommend the caliber to anyone but the most brutish of he-men, as the recoil from just 3 shots would put me in bed feeling ill for the rest of the day.
