This comment by Terry Wieland in the new issue of Rifle caught my attention:

quote:
in interviewing a number of PHs and my own experience in testing bullets in mediums, .470 NE bullets are not prone to tumbling after impact as are some other big-bore cartridges


Comments and observations please.

edit: wrong author -- see my post below

Yes, a load of bloody bullshit!

ALL bullets will tumble at one stage or another.

this is the same "ex PURT" that says tons of trash about big bores .. he's afraid of recoil, and, well, full of prunes

he even feels there's no NEED or REASON for big bore rifles...

he's zumbo, all over again

Terry Wieland has to be one of, if not the most, overrated gun writers out there.

And beyond that, he's not even a very good writer.
