Hi all and hope the new year is a good one for everyone.
i have been reading a fair bit of stuff on this site and learnt quite a lot about the 450 in a few weeks after picking up my first 450 recently ( savage 110 Bolt ) and PS you lot are a good bunch.
i have read a fair bit about bullet comparison and their ability to smash though thick bone etc . This all made sense to me until i shot a bit of 1/4 mild steel plate with Hdy 250 FtX and Fed power shock 300 gr from about 40 metres.I was expecting the bullets to ding the plate and bounce off but they both went straight through, so surely this would smash through any animals bones or am i missing something? ( i have shot a lot of roos in my time but very little experience with bigger game apart from a few pigs with 12G )
Pic attached , the two big holes are 450 at around 40 m and the others are old 308 holes from 100m ish offhand
cheers
Rob
