Socrates - you confused me but that's relatively easy according to the War Department. When you said "The arguments for bullet construction limiting the ability to use velocity are invalid. Punch bullets, GS, Barnes, all are monometal, or dual metal bullets that when shot into dirt, can just about be cleaned off, and shot again, they are so strong."
My point was the bullet has to maintain its integrity (no serious fragmentation/breakup) for maximum penetration for that particular load, whether it’s moving 900 fps or 1700 fps. Am I off base here or are we saying the same thing using different words? Your Max - that's Linebaughs cartridge right? I believe its case measures 1.610" and utilizes the .511 diameter bullet. Now that puppy should make one sit up and take notice!
