Didn't some famous guy once say that an object in motion tends to stay in motion?

Wouldn't the heavier the object, the MORE it would tend to stay in motion?

I'm with Hitman, heavy and slow beats light and fast, all other things being equal.
But, heavy AND fast beats them all...

Heavy doesn't have the shock light does. I haven't had any problems with penetration using Remington 180's. I found that 25gr 2400 works real well in my Ruger SBH. Whitetails just aren't that hard to kill with a proper hit. But then, a proper hit goes without saying!!

A wise old hunter once told me:

Bigger, heavier bullets give you an advantage when you have a tough shot. Whitetails (and deer in general) are easier to kill than larger animals, true. However, if small and fast made big and slow obsolete, all the African guys would have switched to 30-378's and 300 RUM's.

Might happen eventually, but it hasn't happened yet.
