Well I'm pretty happy about this thread. I just found out my Faunetta is a top notch Buffalo Gun. It shoots a 425 grain, 45 caliber cast bullet at 1500 fps. According to Garret that is the absolute ideal velocity for maximum penitration.

Now instead of carrying a heavy 470 or 458 Lott I can now carry my 6 pound 20 gauge and be better armed.

Life is Sweet.





End of story....That is the real truth behind the 45/70...for my misguided friend Brent.

News Flash:



In the future all 45/70 penatration test will be done on old refridgerators at the local dump......experts say if it can penatrate a Maytag or Fridgadare it is good enough for cape Buffalo!!!!!!!

IT'S BACK!!!!

Will you guys never grow-up, or is it simply boredom?

Serious question.

I have a 50 Beowulf. It may actually shoot heavy bullets accurately, but the muzzle velocity will be low (like in the weeds). If I load it with large meplat heavy cast bullets will it make a better killer than say a 500 Jeffery, 500 AHR, or 505 Gibbs?

Advise of bullet weight would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,
Scott
