[QUOTE="su37, post: 276829, member: 5541"] Bryan thank you and Eric thank you as well for your response to my question. It would be obvious that the heavier higher BC 210 would buck the wind better than the 190 that I understand. Bryan wrote, "the heavier bullet will have more weight and more velocity meaning it will have more momentum and more KE. These things all favor the heavier bullet," Bryan, I can see the above being a factor if I was using a bonded or partition or X bullet and I wanted deep, deep penetration or a complete pass through. But when it comes to your bullets and how they behave terminally. As far as momentum I have my strong doubts that weight matters as each weight will behave consistently the same regardless, the bullets will penetrate 2" and then have a grenade effect. Momentum comes into play when you want penetration of the animal. Bergers are not built to do that. Guys, I am thinking that because of HOW your bullets all behave the same that it would not matter if I was shooting a 6.5/140 or a 30/210. The final result is going to be the same a dead animal. Is there a velocity that your bullets will not penetrate and then open up? [/QUOTE]
