Granting all thats been said nobody mentioned the 200gr Shock Wave, I have only taken one animal with them I used my Omega and shot a boar from end to end with an impressive exit hole and dropped him on the spot since the bullet exited travling all most parrel to the ground there was no hope of recovering it. But I do believe that at 2500 fps that 40 cal. bullet is very flat shooting and hard hitting. Lee
