Hey, Y'all,
In a recent Sporting Classics magazine, there was an excellent interview with the great Harry Selby, arguably the greatest living dangerous game hunter and PH we have. His direct comment was that he never used anything but solids, no matter what he was shooting at, and these from the relatively medium-bore .416 Rigby. I tend to agree with him, because I've sure laid a lotta animals low, big and small, with 30-06 military spitzers, probably the WORST design ever applied to a bullet that was meant to kill something! Food for thought-----a .45- or .50 solid is about the same in frontal area as an expanded and partially disintegrated 9.3 or .375. Whatcha think?
