COOL!

I'd really like to try that with one of my S&W 500's.

He is shooting one.

Very cool, Justin!! Looks like fun and it beats shooting paper! How do you find the recoil of your Casull stacks up to the other two handguns? Did you order the 400 grain loads yet?

What is the distance to the targets? The rams look closer then 200 meters or is the camera that good?
I bet there is a lot of repair work to those chickens, the welds must let go fast. We used to break them a lot with the .44's.
Next thing for you guys to try is to take the rams to 500 meters. The guns can do it, believe me. It is more fun then a barrel of monkeys. I have to aim 26 feet high with my 45-70 BFR, at a tree branch. I use cast boolits for it too. The accuracy will amaze you.
I can't hardly hit the things with my BPCR but the revolver will do it.

Nice! What loads are you shooting in all of the guns?

Those rams are at 75m, the video of the .357 shooting the ram is at 200m

The chickens are 25m, turkeys are 50m

The .500 with winchester 400gr Platinum tips, The .45-70 with hornady leverevolutions, and my casull with 300gr Hornadys all kick about equal, my casull has more torque in the wrists though...but I still LOVE IT


The close chickens that were flipping and spinning were hit with the .500 with the leverevolution looking ammo from HOrnady.

a few of the rams were hit with reloads for the 4570 and some of the remington 405gr (I think )bullets

And the casull was using the 300gr xtp's

Justin, PM sent.....

Now I wish I had a video camera. I'm going to the club soon to shoot 500 meters to test my new BPCR boolit. I am taking the .475 and 45-70 BFR's. I will take my digital camera anyway but can't get the shooting pictures like the video.
Bugle, you just have too much fun!

lol thanks bfrshooter! If I aint working I am tinkering with hunting stuff and/or guns! My boss and I try to go out to the range at least once a week with pistols...I bet once he gets his .22-250 we will start making more trips out there.

Justin

p.s.- here is a blast picture of a .357 at night

Great photo, Justin! If you miss the assailant you will nonetheless burn and blind 'em!!

I am overwrought with excitement

Woah, settle down Me_Plat

The guy in the above photos is the owner of the .500 s&w

Nice picture, please get one of the .500 too.

Believe it or not, the .500 doesn't put out as much of a flame as the .357...We have some nighttime video of the guns and there isn't near as much of a flame as in that picture


I think a Alaskan in Casull would make for the best in a recoil challenge

I have a 3-inch Lew Horton Model 29 Smith that shoots fireballs at night with full-house .44 mag loads! Burn 'em, blind 'em, and deafen 'em -- hell you don't even have to hit 'em!!

I made a mold for a semi-wadcutter last week for my Ruger Old Army. My friend dropped off his Pietta 12" barrel Remington to try the boolits out of. I was shooting 32 gr's of Swiss FFFG and found the cylinder gap blast eroded one side of the next boolits nose off. Boolit no. 6 had both sides cut off. I tried 30 to 1 and water dropped WW metal with exactly the same results. The damage was extensive.
Would all of you that shoot cast boolits from your big bores keep track to see if it happens with certain smokeless powders? I never paid any attention before. I found it because one boolit crept out and I had to pull the cylinder to re-seat it. No wonder I get fliers with the cap and ball revolvers and boolits.
The blast in the picture shows the power from the gap.

I found the problem with the Remington cap and ball. The cylinder is too small in diameter and the chambers are too close. The edge of the adjacent chambers are actually under the opening of the forcing cone. There is a direct path for gas to enter the next chambers.
