An excellent post Ron.
It does not surprise me the heavier bullet got more penetration. Some times the question is how fast do you want to expend those foot pounds. I have gone through the boiler room of many deer and into the hillside beyond with a Gold Dot but I think the extra penetration and weight would be very good for elk or moose maybe even for buffalo.
Ron what is your opinion on the amount of damage in the first 3 jugs?
