Hi my question is if a 180 grain fail safe can penetrate the head of an elefant and reach ad damage the brain att 2600-2700 fps of average 3006 or 308 . in my tests this bullet showed penetration like a fmj bullet.i have heard that elefans are culled with 150 gr fmj rounds. regards yes Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. | ||

In the perfect scenario, yes. But seldom is perfect the Elephant hunt. Good way to get someone killed. Thus the reason the .375 is listed as the minimum caliber. It takes up a lot of the "what if" slack. Good hunting, D.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

It's probably possible, though not likely. I sure wouldn't try it -- It's dangerous and it's illegal. Other than that, it's a great idea. LOL When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun. | |||
