Default RE: On the ability of the 295 PB to penetrate

ORIGINAL: lemoyne

That bit about round balls being a crippler is not true. I have taken over 40 deer with a 535 PRB and as a rule they went down faster than sabot loads or even some HP rifles. A large part of the time when deer is crippled it is from being shoot in the wrong place that is ALWAYS the hunters fault. The only deer shot with a PRB that we lost fell on somebode elses property right in front of them and they tagged it and the Game Warden said thats their deer so we could not do anything about it.

I think the 535g of lead had a lot to do with it. If I recall a regular PRB is 147g, so what are you shooting a .62? Chap Gleason
