>>5611913>pistol caliber doesnt have enough energy.Sure at 500 yards it doesnt have enough energy. Are you hunting nigroes or is this a defense scenario?
You dont want to have to much energy from that load. If a bullet zips through the target, thats wasted energy. You want the round to be slow enough to dump all of its energy into the target.
Also, if the bullet zips through, you run the risk of the wound channel closing back up and buying the nigroe some time.
