This ain't the 1980's and the 320gr SSK is no longer the reigning heavyweight champion.



I never brought up the SSK bullet you did. Unless the bore diameter has increased it is still .429 I had LBT 44 bullets as for back as 1985. Plus a lot of people use the 44 so I have witnessed a lot of game taken with the 44. I prefer 45 I don't tell you what to prefer I simply stake what I have seen. Bullets change somewhat over time, but pressure and ballistic principles remain. A larger bore rifle or handgun at the same pressure the bore will push the same weight bullet faster.

Time does not deminish the results of John Linebaugh or Ross Sefried, new powders and bullets can be added but the results of their work is still valid today.
