Dumb question--

What type of bullet is PPSP?

One bullet I have been impressed with is the Barnes
triple X 100% copper bullet in a 416 bolt.It works great on bears and penetrates deeply yet mushrooms well. I have used the X bullet for years on elk. They are very hardy and must be hit properly hitting both lungs to prevent long tracking. Tough but not tough like a buff of course. The X bullet is great and smashes through their shoulder bones to their vitals well.

I just wish Barnes made a X bullet in a 470 or 500. Barnes advertizes them to open as low as 1600 fps.
I think that could be the best of both worlds with good shocking ability/tissue disruption yet deep penetration.

Ultimately it is the properly placed bullet that always does the work of getting the game down. A better mousetrap is always welcome!
