RE: Frontal area vs. Velocity
IMO most of the trick of the year cartridges won' t last long.
I like a big bullet,more initial shock and you don' t have to worry about expansion.
Around here you rarely have to make a " long shot" . If you do you don' t much about hunting and stalking. I know alot of areas ar differant but if a good hunter can shoot a pronghorn in the wide open spaces of the prairie with a pistol or ML, why cant hunters use tactics to get close to there quary and not have to shoot long distances.
I' m from the old school, if the old timers could bring meat to the dinner table with what they had to use we should be able to do so too.
How many of us really should be taking 400 and 500 yard shots.
These are my thoughts and I hope I haven' t stepped on any toes.
