but these days lighter “premium” bullets penetrate big game just as deeply as traditional 250-grain bullets but kick less




BS.

Read the article. He goes on and on, but answered the questions right at the beginning ... a kipplauf.


BTW which are taller, the Rockies or the Alps?




ALPS..

Monte Rosa
Monte Rosa has an elevation of 4,634 meters (15,203 ft), claiming the title of Switzerland's highest peak. It's located in the eastern part of the Pennine Alps on the border with Italy. The Tour de Mont Rosa is a difficult trek that circles Monte Rosa, crossing through both the Swiss and Italian Alps.

The Rocky Mountains contain the highest peaks in central North America. The range's highest peak is Mount Elbert located in Colorado at 4,401 metres (14,440 ft) above sea level. Mount Robson in British Columbia, at 3,954 metres (12,972 ft), is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.

As to bullets, IMHO he has a point when considering a bullet like a Barnes that is super tough and non-expanding.. believe they have superior penetration to bullets of days gone by. BUT, I do feel there is NO substitute for size/weight when hitting big game.. I prefer heavy for caliber bullets when hunting game like elk... Swifts..
