So velocity does aid penetration with the FN solid in the MIB test media, but the NOSE PROJECTION must be factored in too, relative to the base length of the bullet. More important than weight for caliber/SD.
I bet it works the same on bovine, hippo, rhino, giraffe, elephant, bears, walrus and for whales.
Here is hoping that CEB catalogs a regular offer of 400-gr/.458 CEB Safari Solid with longer nose projection than the 400-gr/.458 CEB Lever Gun Solid. Cheers.
Yes, but how much and with which bullet? There were two different velocity penetration tests with the 325 grain Safari Solid on the same day.
Velocity Impact 2472 fps = 52"
Velocity Impact 2226 fps = 51 & 52"
An extra 246 fps did not provide much to any additional penetration in the test media.
