To keep with the hunting theme, at the better ones I use a solid. The ones that are not so good I use a soft.

ROTFLMAO, Longbob.

I am confused though. How does an expanding bullet become a solid?

I'm not exactly sure, but to be safe in today's world I would suggest that you use a jacketed bullet.

hehehehehehe...

I'd suggest we consider the implications on penetration, but I think that might cross a line or two.

You are right. This is destined to spiral downwards.

I think jacketed round-nose solids is the best, providing deep penetration, and with satisfying results(very satisfying indeed). The wound channel would be quite large.....
Use with caution though as jacketed bullets are known to break at high velocity and energy, that could cost you.

We ARE talking about bullets right?

Any barrel length suggestions?

Well, that would depend on your load and velocity. Heck, I have got to leave this thread alone.

The two things that matter most are diameter and depth of penetration. In todays world a jacket is a requirement. To use nonjacketed ordnance could have dire circumstances.

On a nonhunting note and to answer the question posed; The Circus and Side Show located in Cleveland's Flats!

As far as that goes, use a premium, you don't want the core to separate from the jacket! Dutch.

If this gets into a controversy over the virtues of Controlled Round Feed vs. Push Feed, I am definately changing the channel (forum).

Canuck,

I wish I had thought of that! I prefer the control feed myself. I guess I am just a control freak.

Can we at least agree NOT to discuss:

Tight Chambers,
Excessive Headspace, and
Oversize (or Undersize) Bores?

Thank you,
Canuck

How about Wildcats? I wonder if our significant others would find us a cleaver as we find ourselves?

Canuck,

What about FIREFORMING?

As I understand it, shot placement is significantly more important than either barrel length or wound channel diameter. I also have seen comments from more than a few posters here concerning a preference for "Texas Heart Shots"... No, sorry...I ain't going there..

At this rate the Matchking thread might meet its match. And this one's actually kinda funny.

Just like Gerards bullets, I prefer the driving bands, that way it will conform to the bore, and you will get more velocity,less drag, and it does not foul the bore as much. Don't forget it also has a serious boattail

I believe there are skillful shooters that can fire them jacketed round-nose slugs several times before having to reload. What do you guys think of jacketed hollow points? They mushroom into a pretty big diameter!

"Can we at least agree NOT to discuss:

And speaking of tight chambers this can result in dangerously high pressures that would rip the jacket before the round-nose completely penetrates.

Oh, one more thing before I go to sleep. This is for the ladies as well.

Do some of the women have the same success with rubber bullets? Certainly they are not the real thing because they do not expand or mushroom right? But some do seem to be satisfied with these synthetic round-noses though....

How about reloading for these species?
Do you use LR primer or do you prefer LRM primer.

I don't know about the rest of this stuff but I got several "hand loads" in a little shop in the keys. Damned if I can't remember the name of it but, all calibers were well represented.

My female counterpart considers that most men do not carry their brains in their head. This thread seems to confirm that. Don't any of you guys go blowing your brains out,You hear?!?! I have heard it said and I hope it is true that "It is not how big the caliber but how long you can stay in the hunting field that counts" I guess that is my only hope. Good Hunting, no matter whether it is for two or four legged deer/dear. "D"

Incredible, you guys are all going for canned hunts. And I thought this was a sporting crowd.

But, if you gotta go that way, then I find that lubing the bullet is sometimes helpful.

I have also been told that it is not the bore/caliber but the speed and energy that is most important.

what about shot placement?

What about target size. No one mention if they like their targets big and round or flat and skinny.

It seems to me that moly coated projectiles will work better than just a jacketed bullet to minimize bore fouling.
Unfortunately, I am not in a very target rich environment right now and handloading has been my only option. A friend of mine recently resorted to the canned hunt outside of Vegas but I just can't ethically justify it. Just shooting fish in a barrell ya know.

OK enough of that. My favorite strip club is Club Paradise in Vegas. Classy, comfortable and not as crowded with knuckle dragging pricks as a place like Cheetah's. The girls at Paradise are also a lot more "real" than the Cheetah's gang.

Enjoy,

Molly does do a good lube job, but the residue contaminates the next shot unless you take some extra cleaning precautions.

You have to be careful with those jackets, excessive speed and twist rate will cause them to shed with potentially disastrous results.

Do you moly your bullet in the tumbler? They do tend to get quite greasy and makes your barrel last longer

Well, yes. I am kinda partial to the gymnists.
