Quote from: g8rvet on June 30, 2020, 02:12:11 PMAll this reminds me of Karamojo Bell and his belief that there was no such thing as "knock down power" when dealing with large game (like elephants). The "experts" of the day all advocated carrying hand cannons (like 4 gauge smoothbores) to kill elephants. He used the (at the time) tiny 7x57 Mauser and even the .303 British to kill elephants and he did it at a rate that no one will ever accomplish again. Penetration to the brain was what he advocated and they all thought he was nuts.

Just an off-topic pondering: I wonder what thoughts about caliber and knock-down power occurred in those few seconds after the guy hunting elephants missed the brain on that first shot and a really pissed-off elephant was on his way to squash him like a bug?!

Quote from: blake_08 on June 30, 2020, 10:32:06 AMI found this chart, which I find interesting. It shows that while TSS retains velocity better than #5 lead, the #5 lead starts off with and maintains more pellet energy than TSS #9 to 60 yards. Looks like #7 TSS is the heavy hitter and maintains penetration, velocity, and pellet energy better than #9s and #5 lead. Either way, if you have adequate pattern density at 40 yards, any of the 3 will do the job. Good discussion.click the PDF below to look at that chart. I tried to upload just a picture of the chart but I couldn't.

Quote from: g8rvet on June 30, 2020, 08:39:27 PMGoing well Chief! Hope you had a great turkey season. Ours was great, but duck season was a lot of work and not much to show here in the north. Bell wrote his own books, but they are a tough read with the Victorian language. Capstick does a great job putting it in modern English and tells many a tale of other adventurists too.
