I shot some 440g bullets from my 500 Magnum (4" barrel) and some lighter bullets. The 440g were so punishing, I thought I could possibly fracture my wrists, arms, etc.
I realize that comparing different cartridges from different manufacturers is akin to comparing apples and oranges.
I should have Chronied the loads, then I could have done the calculations. Without the bullet's speed, we know nothing other than how they "felt."
I can tell you that the hard-nose 440 Cast went through 14" of solid Poplar Tree and just stopped as it was exiting the opposite side! Frankly, I was impressed!
