Dangerous Hard Drive charges need that good ol' 700 stopper!
Now did that shot "Turn" that bull or drop him?
Walter... you are beginning to look like Santa Claus.

PIGS - Pigs are ridiculous! Shoot pigs.

Not me,but Lou halllamore (Zim PH par excellence) told me his exprience with training a 3.75 mortar squad during the rhodesian war. He had the squad all set to fire,when an ostrich ran on to the firing range! Unfazed, Lou goes "Fire!"
10 sec later, a huge cloud of smoke, and the ostrich walks out unscathed!

Years ago I used to shoot yellow bellied marmots with my Sako Hunter 1V in 375H&H loaded with 300gr Partitions @ 2450fps lately I've shot Columbia ground squirrels with my 45-70 with 405gr hard cast gas checked bullets.

Had an old girlfriend back when who fired a beer bottle thru my big picture window. This is a gal who also shot her stove once in anger. I would have to say she had quite the big bore...

Looks to me like he spined it

Many years ago, we were shooting pigeons in the backyard with an air rifle.

Then we decided to see what happens when you shoot one with a 460 Weatherby.

We used a cast bullet of about 550 grains, and killed one.

There was nop drama at all.

Then we saw a rat running in the fence, and we decided it might be a good idea to try and shoot the rat.

But, thsi timer we would use a new rifle I had just built.

A 22-243 Middlestead.

We put some bescuits out, and waited for the rat to come and eat.

He was about 20 yards away, and he came to have some bescuits.

I fired at him, and somehow he just disappeared!

We went looking, and found a hole in the ground where he was, with some sand speckled with blood.

The biggest piece we were able to finf was some fur about a 1/8 of inch.

Walter said that rat has the quickest path straight to bescuit heaven!

Greeks bearing gifts...
Arabs bearing bisquits...
Way to make a rat misty!!!

Here is a winner I think...



Giant field rat I ran over with our 52,000lb Front end Loader (Caterpillar)

Shot a propane tank at the Fairbanks Alaska range with a 45-70 and 600 grain Barnes originals. Sent a cloud of gas 30' in the air and got the attention of everyone around.

Apparently of the 100's of dents in the tank already, none had gone through. My 45-70 shot clear through both sides.

Prep for an Ele hunt.

Reminds me of when I decided to use my 30-06 to shoot some jack rabbits after a failed hog hunt. I spotted one sitting under a brush about 100 yards away, put the crosshairs on him and sent 180 grains his way. I could see I hit the rabbit as there was this blob on the ground. I walked over to see what happened and, as I approached, it looked like the rabbit had been under a poison oak bush since all the leaves had red spots. A few steps closer and I realized the spots were actually blood splatter. The rabbit looked like someone had already gone through the trouble of field dressing him and there was pieces of insides spread out over a 2 foot radius.

Yesterday I shot three pine squirrels with four shots from the.450NE double.

Shooting Hornady DGS rounds, cool holes in all my trees!
