To revive an old thread, I bought some of these 40 grain solids at 710 FPS. I have been astounded by how they perform. My head starts hurting whenever I read on here about the caliber debates, light bullets traveling fast, heavy bullets traveling slow, etc.

I shot a possum in the side of the head between the ear and the eye and he dropped like he was shot with a 30.06. We have been having trouble with raiding our feed bins and the round blew out the other side of his head and left a quarter size hole. I don’t know if the slow moving round is tumbling, or the lead is soft and doing a great deal of damage, or what is going on.

And in a rifle, the rounds are quieter than my pellet rifle.
