[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3640613, member: 6064"] Quick reality check, if the load you are using will go through both sides of a Buffalo, why do you need to expend more energy into the ground! I.E. 458 SOCOM... I have been told that it needs to go "AT LEAST" 1850 FPS to be effective on "big pigs". I have shot several in the 300-350 Pound range with a 325 grain Hornady Flex tip. I have yet to recover a bullet from a side to side hit low in the shoulder at 1600 FPS.....All have exited. I'm just not that mad at Oklahoma dirt! Now I'm not shooting them at 200 yards or nothing, usually round 25-75 yards, but I did get a full pass through at 153 yards once. Maybe I need more recoil and powder....NOT!!!! [/QUOTE]
