OK, about to get a new .475. Want some "tree-busters"
What would be the best penetrator:
420gr LFN @ 1350fps or
440gr Extra Wide Nose @ 1325fps
These are Buffalo Bore loads.
I've shot these before in my old .475, but only at an indoor range
I would guess the 440gr'r should penetrate the deepest due to mass; but due to the extra wide meplat may cut penetration a bit (I've heard that the LFN's go about 10% deeper than the WFN's, and this is just a wide WFN).
The 440gr looks like it would give a tremendous hydrostatic shock to game, though.
Any input? It's been awhile since I've blasted away with a .475 (needed $, had to sell it)...
