.. it is often the case that the same bullet driven fast will stop sooner than the same bullet driven slower.

Which of these two loads do you think will penetrate more one gallon water jugs?

1. .45-70, 460g hardcast @ 1812fps, 3354fpe
2. .45-70, 300g hardcast @ 1167fps, 907fpe

The "obvious" choice is also the wrong one. ...

460g hardcast penetrated 9 water jugs, ...
300g bullet, Total penetration was 11 jugs ...



Firstly, they are NOT the same bullet.

Do you suggest a PH would be better off with .45-70 rather than his higher momentum .458win or .458 Lott for achieving penetration
on dangerous game?
