Does the heavier bullet kill big critters deader than the 410-400 grain bullet?

I'd be a huge hypocrite if I pretended to be something other than a heavy bullet fan. As I sit here drinking my breakfast coffee I find myself contemplating two boxes of 320 grain cast lead bullets that need to be stuffed into my .44 Mag.

But on the other hand I'm a big fan of one rifle, one load.

Is the 450 grain bullet so much more of a killer I should mess up my system?





In answer to your first question, No.

I am a heavy for calibre bullet fan and if in doubt I go for the heavier bullet. but 400gns out of a 416 is plenty for NT Buff. if you hit it in the right spot, they all kill.

You might see a difference on an end to end shot up the arse but in reality, as Geoff says, use a Solid for 2 or 3.

If I need an end to end shot on a going away, I take out the hip and that stops them anyway.

No need for the extra recoil.

Just my HO.
