USFWS Bullet Performance Study

This came up in a thread a while back but I couldn't find a link to the study at the time. Now that I find it I can't find the damned thread.

Oh well, here's the link.

Great link, BUM. Thanks!

Looks like the .460 Weatherby needs better bullets. It delivered 1,300 more ft/lbs. than the .458, but ranked 2nd to the Winchester. Good to see the venerable .375 H&H in 3rd!

This was made in March 1983. That data is 23 years old and mostly obselete considering the myriad of new bullet types weights and technology today. It would be nice to see a modern test.

Sounds like a project for Haggisfest III
