.400 Legend versus….

[GoetsTalon]

The thing with rifle is more ft. Pounds energy than what will leave a blood trail. Like anything else just put it where it is supposed to go.

Put the bullet or arrow in the boiler room and the result is a dead animal....

I am happy with accuracy and power. I just think there is room for improvement. Improvement i could make. Like me shooting a vertical bow, sure i can do it, but I'm better with a crossbow. Sure this gun works as is, but I can make it better with a bullet change.

explain this further please.... I'm not understanding

Terminal energy. Rifle bullets are small diameter. Most 30. Caliber are .308 in diameter. Like 30-06 and 300 Winchester magnum. Then look at the .25 calibers like the 25-06. That's a pin hole practically. Rifle bullets are ment to dump there energy once they enter the animal. Like personal defense pistol rounds do on people.

So my "complaint" here is that I had a pass thru shot with the same size hole on both sides. 40 caliber hole on both entrance and exit.

 

[GoetsTalon]

That's the problem. That round has more than 2000 pounds of energy and all its doing is making a hole. Now if it went through one side then expanded enough to dump a ton of energy with almost no exit you wouldn't need a blood trail.

Dave... You said it earlier.... " Bullet Change "... Perhaps do some research on the construction of the bullet you were using... Pass throughs are great but the bullet should mushroom inside to destroy organs thus causing a quick death...

Yeah, quit wasting time and buy a 450.

I could let Dave use my 10 gauge with 3 1/2 inch shells. Talk about knock down power.
