The Brits learned long ago that for penetration on game you needed a hardened round ball. Less deformation means more penetration.
That's a very good question.
Ah! I see you are new. There is a formula developed by the late Charles Davenport( the "Davenport" Formula ) that determines how much powder can be burned in a given caliber and length of barrel EFFICIENTLY.
Ok, more questions still. This is the first time I've heard of a Charles Davenport in the shooting World.
I went shooting today and found some strange data.
Ballard said:I have to ask. How did you determine that this man's rifle would only burn 97 grs of powder efficiently?
