I’m glad we can all see the humor in it now because this is how my deer hunting elders used to speak to one another, and me, in all seriousness.
Please, let the formulas continue…

Where do Oomph and Bang-flop reside on the Wallop-authoritah scale?

I think a 45-70 would qualify as high wallop but lacking authority.

Lots of noise, lots of recoil. But the heavy slow bullets wound less than a small fixed blade broadhead. The KE is there, but it just lacks in actual wounding quality per wallop/lbs.

It’s 45% wallop and 70% authority. Yeah, that’s more than 100%. They call it government because it can’t follow a budget.
