But we all know that if we used a cannon ball @ 3000 fps vs. a needle @ 3000 fps at point blank range, the cannon ball is going to kill them faster.


I've had 6 different 338 WM's... I've never broken much over 2,700 fps with any 250 gr. bullet/powder combo. And having killed elk with the 338 WM/210 Partitions at nearly 3,000 fps, vs. a 270/130 at 3,000 fps, I've not seen any difference in demise.
