Bullet effectiveness...

Bullet effectiveness is all relative and dependent on the application.

We have shot a number of deer with the 5.56mm loaded with bulk Nosler 55gr soft points and when shot like this have always dropped into their tracks so hard they bounced.

We have shot a number of deer with the 12 bore Express rifle like this and they have all dropped in their tracks so hard they bounced.

The pigs shot with the .72 caliber round ball also went down without any drama.

Cheers,
