[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2629822, member: 5412"] The whole 9 vs bigger in ballistic gel is such a joke. 150 pound guy vs a 350 pound guy. makes a difference in how a bullet performs. You don't take a 55 grain .223 on an elephant hunt. It doesn't matter that the .223 can run at 3250 fps, it takes a .416 Rem mag or something similar to take down an elephant at full charge. You don't hunt grizzly with a hyper velocity rifle round. You hunt it with something that has enough weight to smash through anything in front of it. And before anybody else chimes in, I know the most prolific elephant hunter used a 6.5mm and 7mm, but he stalked and shot them behind the ear because he knew the anatomy of the animal, and that shot was the entry to the brain.
