500/416 DR vs 450/400 SOFTS ON BUFF- BETTER??
15/09/06 09:14 AM

Just thought I would start the "better DR" ball rolling--

Is the 500/416 a better mousetrap than the 450/400 with softs for buffalo? Solids are a completely different issue, as both calibers could pass thru the entire animal. Other forums consider solids inferior killers for put downs vs premium softs on Buff.

You are talking 2300+ fps vs 2150 and supposedly more tissue damage. The downside is that sometimes with higher velocity and energy(600+ ft pnds) you get LESS PENETRATION, more expansion and a shorter wider woundtrack.

What is noted with 500/416 softs? Are they better killers or is all this just conjecture?Do 450/400 softs penetrate further than 500/416's and thus KILL BETTER?

Thanks to all for any thoughts on this matter. [Should there be a 450/400 or a 500/416 DR on my wish list in the future?]
