Hello all,
What do you think about this caliber for the classic crocodile side brain shot @ <100 yards.
Has anyone out there used this (or another .30 or "fast .30") on a croc (assuming a precise brain shot)?
I'm thinking that a 200 grain Barnes TSX @ 3060 fps delivering 4158 Ft Lbs at the muzzle and 3631 at 100 yards would "suffice" to brain him (along with quick follow ups). Robertson recommends at least a 338 Win Mag (225 grains, 3798 Ft. Lbs. at 100 yard). He tells a story in his "Perfect Shot" book about a pair (client/PH) using a .308 and 30-06 on a croc that got away.
Thanks
