Most know that bigger, faster is more devastating creating larger wound channels and internal damage. Others well........
I might agree with that IF. IF that bigger bullet is NOT constructed so heavy it resists opening up.
THAT has already been brought out...did you catch it ?
From PERSONAL experience ‘bigger’ & ‘faster’ does NOT always mean more destructive.
REAL life reality **
In my 8mm Rem Mag. I shoot 200 gr bullets at 3100 + FPS. That’s .323 dia.- 200 grain @ 3100 +
For WT (whitetail) I don’t use N Ps.
The Speer 8mm 200 gr spitzers are STOUT enuff that they DONT open sufficiently or quick enuff for the destruction that I expected and that you reference.
I haven’t tried them yet but the front end of the 200 gr N Ps might very well open quicker and give expected destruction.
I doubt the 250 gr 338 bullets will open quick enuff on WT to be as destructive as opined.
