    From what i have read and heard from eye witness accounts, it is not really the speed that you want, but excessiveamount of knock down power. A friend was on a recent trip to africa after cape buffs. I believe he said that he was told by the PF to use slower loads that way they do not blow through the animal. Rather they allow the animal to absorb all of the shock of the bullet causing greater devastation to the animal. Plus it will not kick as bad if that is another component that you are worried about. songdog
