Big Bore bullets--sectional density vs velocity
      18/12/09 01:10 AM

Read a really good article this morning in RIFLE magazine by Ganyana...where he states all one really needs to keep in mind, particularly when hunting elephant is velocity must be high enough compared to the sectional density of the bullet used for good penetration.

As an example--he sd in the .300 range--you need velocity of around 2300 plus to be effective were as if sd is .340 velocity of around 2100 will suffice..

Ganyana goes on to explain his experiences in this theory hunting hippo, lion, elephant and buffalo.

One final interesting point he makes is that he felt there is absolutey no need to use solids on buffalo with todays technology and current crop of bullets available..

If interested you should check this out..fairly lengthy article with lots of informative info...
