Taking a Bite out of Recoil
Article Abstract:
New loads from Federal and Remington take two different approaches to reducing recoil in hunting ammunition and they deliver enough performance for deer under the right circumstances and are easy on a young-or old-shooter's shoulder. Federal used a heavy bullet at a low velocity while Remington used a lighter-weight bullet at a slightly reduced velocity, both incorporated bullets built for deer-sized game.

Heavyweight hitters: A history of Barnes bullets
Article Abstract:
Barnes bullets was founded in 1932 in Bayfield, Colo., by Fred Barnes where the company developed a reputation for deep-penetrating bullets that were heavy-for-caliber. Fred Barnes' bullets worked well in Africa and in big North American game because they had a tough .049"-thick copper jacket and as a result the bullets held together and penetrated deeply.
