Re: Specially For H/Gun hunting -The Impala bullet
In the October 2017 issue of SA Hunter Koos Barnard tested some ammo for hunting including the Impala 160gr bullets mentioned.
To test penetration, he used a “wetpack” and below are the results.
Ammo - weight - speed - penetration
Impala - 160gr - 1465fps - 26.3 cm
Peregrine Hog - 240gr - 1144fps - 14.8cm
Peregrine Hog - 180gr - 1297fps - 13.9cm
Hornaday - 225gr - 1291fps - 18.2cm
PMP - 240gr - 1148fps - 16.6cm
Hornaday XTP - 200gr - 1238fps - 13.9cm
Nosler - 200gr - 1297fps - 14.2cm
If you want more details (and there was quite a bit, including loads) I suggest you read the article, I am too lazy to type everything here.
