[QUOTE="dwightb, post: 1595618, member: 68068"] I wanted to compare two 416 caliber bullets. One a 350 grain Hawk, the other 350 grain Speer hot core. The Hawk out of a 416 Ruger, the Speer out of a 416 Rigby, both doing roughly 2550. Two whitetails for the table, with as close a my possible the same shot placement. The Hawk did a little bit more damage but neither did as much as a 270 with 140 grain Sierra Game king in the same spot. The advantage the larger diameter bullet has is "thump"(knock down is not a good term). The "thump" helps take down game as well or better than "shock". I did some testing with pumpkins, pvc pipe, dog food bags and moss for "thump". A 500 grain 458 Lott has 100 time more "thump" than a screeming 130 grain 7mm mag! They both kill, the big one just secures better with less damage! [/QUOTE]
