FB404 go the Hydros.

I tend to agree with most of what has been said however in defences of the bullet diameter part of Taylor's formulae. I think he was very astute to pick this up but needed to modify it to allow for shape of nose(of the bullet) and size of any metplat. Not saying that this would be a fit and proper formulae, don't think there is one.

Going back to another doyen of the shooting and hunting world, Elmer Keith. Keith noted that the larger the metplat of the round the quicker or surer it killed. Keith stated that there was no scientific studies on this, it was just his observations from experiments he carried out with 44 cal projectiles. Apparently he made up several batches with the metplat being .001" bigger than the last batch etc. His quarry, I believe, was Deer. Now it is many years since I read this article by Keith and some aspects of the article I just can not remember.

The best formulae, to me, is the one for felt recoil. Find out how much you can handle confidently and don't go above it. That way you have a far better chance of hitting what you want, where you want, when you want.

Cheers

Greg
