I have just been calculating different calibers front area of the bullet. Caliber .264 (Swedish 6,5 x 55) have a front area nubmber of *33* Caliber .300 (300 win) have a front area number of *45,5* Caliber .338 (338 win) have a front area number of *58* Caliber .375 (375 H&H) have a front area number of *70* Caliber .416 (416 rem) have a front area number of *86* Caliber .458 (458 win) have a front area number of *105* Caliber .577 (577 nitro) will have a front area number of *169* Caliber .600 (600 OVERKILL) will have a front area nubmer of *191* Caliber .700 (700nitro) will have a front area number of *245* Caliber ? (4-Bore) Will have a front area number of *490* Caliber .375 H&H will do 2 times as big wound channels than caliber .264 (swedish 6,5 x 55) Now I understand how a .375 H&H can be so much more effective on swedish moose than the 6,5 x 55. I have been calculating only the bullet diameter before. Then the it is not much different between the 6,5x55 and .375 H&H "9,5 mm v&s 6,5 mm" There is just 3 mm different BUT the .375 H&H is still going to make a 2 times bigger hole than the 6,5 x 55. If you only calculate the bullet diameter it is not as much different as if you are calculating the real wound diameters. Hmm I have nothing do do right now so we can take the expanded front area of bullets to. If a .264 caliber bullet expand to 2 times its diameter then the wound will be 4 times bigger than the orginal diameter. .264 + .264 = 528 It will make a little bigger hole than a .510 caliber bullet. Then if a .375 caliber bullet expand to 2 times its orginal diameter. .375 + .375 = 750 It will make a bigger hole than a caliber .700 solid bullet. Now we take a big one. If caliber .600 (600 Overkill) expand to 2 times it orginal diameter .600 + .600 = 1200 A much bigger hole than a .4-Bore can make. I just so fun now when I know how much different there is between different calibers. I think that this is the reason why a big bore kill a animal much faster than a smaller one. It is just the wounds not ENERGY. Any one that agree??? | ||
