I love this statistic:

"OGW: 24,784 lbs.

The OGW is an abbreviation for Optimal Game Weight formula. Compared to the TKO formula, this will give more credit to faster bullets, but will also favor heavier bullets. The OGW result indicates the maximum animal weight this caliber and load would effectively kill."


So twelve and a half tons is "the maximum animal weight" (whatever the hell that means) that this caliber and load would "effectively kill" (whatever the hell that means, too)?!

Where do these guys come up with this stuff?
