Penetration kills...with speed it kills quicker.
Dan
Speed not only kills quicker AND Speed helps make shot placement easier AT distance. Try this -- throw a heavy bullet and hit a deer ANYWHERE and see if you can even wound it ! Even a 45-70 has speed. Jerry

Rifles are like cars. When you're young, you want fast and sporty. As you get older, you want comfort and reliability.
Agreed. You could throw women in that mix also.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Kinda why 7x57 with 175 grainers kills so well, as does a 30-30 with 170s...  160 grainers in a 6.5x55 and the 220gr/30-06 comes to mind as well. I have 400pcs of Hornady 175gr RN ready for my 275Rigby.

Bought an H&R 444marlinn off a buddy a few years ago , really like it for some reason . Short stubby w/a 1.5x6-36 Bushnell 4200 firefly reticle scope , it shot 1'' groups at 50 yards with some 225gr, FTX starting loads .
It's going to be my close range treestand/blind/night hunting gun , going to try the shade tree ceramic coat paint on it .
Got some 300gr. pistol bullets sitting on the shelf , should really knock the stuffing out of a big hog .
As I mature [get older] these type guns appeal to me more and more b/c they appear to work just fine .
JPro you're being way too nice to those coyotes ..
Nice hog ! I want to get an H&R .444 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike , I went on aldeer.com [alalbama deer] and looked up a sale ad from a couple of months ago H&R 444 but he wants too much IMO . $375 , I'll keep an eye out and alert you if I see a good deal on one .

So 30-30, 6.5 Sweede, 7 and 8x57, or 30-06 are not as primitive as 35 Whelen or 358?
The first few listed were 60 years old when the 358 was born!
Nice to see the PAGC has company on the short bus.
