Really? Is there a 147-gr bullet that doesn't replicate a LRN, or are they all that way?

Does velocity make a difference?

My home state is ranked in the top five in the nation for obesity. If you don't live where this is a widespread problem, you have no idea how huge some of the people are around here. Add to that, as a general population, we are larger boned and taller and heavier in mass than were Americans before the mid-80s.

Don't believe me? Find a 1970 high school yearbook and look thru it. Look at the front linemen in the football team photo. Or look at the photos of undergrads in any college annual from 1950-1980. It will astonish you how small they seem.

The point I am trying to make is that I want the penetration 147-gr bullets afford me. But again, I am throwing them faster than what compact 9mms are capable of.
