Why? All of todays solids will work just fine, even the cheap Hornadys!!

Go to the Main page, click "english, shop, SuperPenetrator" .

But I am with Ray, and the SuperPenetrators are only available in the EU because the import restrictions to the US.

Who needs a custom Mauser with nice wood, or even CRF for that matter, when a stainless and synthetic Wal-Mart special will kill them just as dead?


It's just the whole aesthetic thing. Maybe cachet is a better word for it. I don't like to say "cool" or "neato".

Henry, Henry,
that's a poor comparison, there is a reason behind your comparisons, none behind comparing a super penitrator to a quality solid, the only and I mean only difference is the name "Super" thats a sales gimmick.

can't argue with Ray's logic on that one

I love these kind of threads

I'm not disagreeing with Ray either.

I have many boxes of cheap Hornady soft points and solids (blems from Lock Stock and Barrel). That's what I practice with, and that's what I'll be hunting with in Africa, most likely.

I have a very inexpensive hobby of thinking about buying things that cost a lot of money and then not doing it. I've never shot an X-bullet (in my own gun) either. I've never bought an X-bullet would be a very precise way to say that.

The real question is whether you as the consumer want the deepest penetrating bullet or not. If you want the deepest penetrating bullet, then a FN is the way to go. If not, then a RN will be fine.

Ray:
Pls. be carefully with your prejudice.
SuperPenetrator is an abbreviation for "supercavitating penetrator".
It is not for sale in the US and in the EU a very small specialiced offer.
No sales gimnick.
