"...Field reports of squib loads from a result of the compressed powder coagulating in the African heat, caused more than a few dangerous situations; there were reports of bullets actually bouncing off an elephant’s hide—the problem was real."
What does this mean? I've never heard of coagulated powder before.
Bullets “bouncing off an elephants hide” I’m calling BS on this.
I cannot prove or disprove this (Bullets bouncing off).....but many years ago (‘60’s) I read of some African hunters having experiences with “squib” loads. Much reduced velocity, with zero or near zero penetration! memtb
I’ve read the same BS but not in the 60’s those claims came latter. Reduced velocity probable but even 1700 FPS will penetrate and kill elephant. Too many have been killed with revolvers at 1200 t0 1400 FPS. I have a hard time believing those claims without detailed info with proper examination
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first
