I have not used Barnes XPB's myself but they just look like they can cause a world of hurt with that huge cavity up front.

Neither have I, but clearly you are NOT a hunter and seem to be under the impression that YouTube has made you knowledgable on the subject. Sadly all you are is tiresome ... <ignored>

Wow, really? A bullet actually penetrates inside the body of the animals that are shot and damages internal organs? Amazing. I never knew that. You know, I bet that’s why dad told me to aim for the lungs and the heart back in the day. This from somebody with zero scientific or mathematical...

A 10mm has a smaller case capacity than a 357 mag, and at max loads cannot exceed .357 mag loads for the same bullet weight. A 10mm GP can be rechambered to 10mm mag which does give it an edge over. 357mag.

Ok, a couple of misconceptions here. A 356 GNR will exceed 357 mag ballistics at lower pressures than a 357 mag. A six shot 356 GNR has wider chambers walls between cylinders than a 7 shot GP100 has. Gary Reeder is a very competent gunsmith and his conversions are all high quality and well...

:thumbup: Congrats. I love my 454 SRH

FWIW, I did not advance any theory as to what is at play when a bullet knocks down an animal. You seem to have assumed I am claiming it is the kinetic energy only. Whether it is or not, I don't know and I am not in the habit to claim things that I don't know about. I have knocked animals off...

Ps. I am not advocating a shooting style/technique. I'm sharing my approach and why I prefer grips that others may not.

It depends what caliber you're are shooting. On very light 357 loads (loaded down to 38 special level) as I use for Cowboy Shooting, you can shoot very fast as the roll is very slight. With a 500 Linebaugh and similar, possibly fast enough to put a second shot into a charging Cape Buffalo or...

... and again, what are your credentials to make such a comment? Are you a physicist? Are you a physician? Do you work in a field where you are considered a subject matter expert in physics? Have you actually attended tertiary level physics classes? Other than what you have read on Wiki, just...

And yet people make such a brewhaha about wound channel results in gel testing when evaluating defensive ammo? There seems to be a bit of a disconnect. That said, I do agree with the gist of your statement. Its just that I do not put any value in gel test results when choosing a caliber to drop...

Pray tell us what your credentials are to make such a statement. Would I be correct in assuming you have none? For the record, I am not a physician or a physicist either, I merely state what I have observed. Blowing smoke was also considered serious conversation, and no doubt unbelievers...

It is meant to mean how effective a particular bullet (caliber/velocity/construction etc. etc) is at stopping a particular animal. That doesn't change the fact that the conversation revolves about how effective a particular bullet is at stopping an animal IOW the "stopping power" of "knock...

Nice spin. Stopping power is well understood by hunters and frequently discussed especially amongst big game hunters. I have not in more than 40 years of hunting ever heard of a single hunter, anywhere on this planet, use the phrase "physiological damage".

IOW gel fails to take into consideration skeletal tissue and air cavities such as found in lungs, which do result in big differences in both bullet penetration and tissue damage in real life. While gel will show comparative performance between calibers and differences in bullet...

Do take note that many people also blindly accepted the opinion of the entire group of surgeons & physicians and their "extensive" body of knowledge as irrefutable fact when they claimed that pumping smoke into patients' rectums was medically sound, circa1900's. "Facts" that run contrary to...

Amen. I don't think anyone who has hunted regularly buys into the hype of gel tests.

Look at around 8:45 when they shoot the 475 Linebaugh (stainless) and then the 500 Linebaugh (Blue). You can clearly see the handgun has rotated almost to the point where the web of the guys hand is touching the hammer. The long haired guy allows so much rotation he needs to use gloves to...

Ok, but my face and stomach stays hidden! :rofl: No, not me. SAA (Single Action Army) revolvers are designed to rotate in your hand. The more gentle the grip, the more they will rotate and not hurt your wrist. Nobody that shoots big calibers will hold onto grip hard. Remember, a 460 S&W mag...
