H� guys! I h�v shoot many of the moos with with my .177 Titmouse Magnum (.177/.300 Wby) and they always die with much complaining but they don't get knocked down with the energy. If I get the .177 Tyrannosaur (.177/.505 Gibbs) wil the moos get knocked down? It makes the 1.1 g (17 gr) bullet go 2000 mps (6500 fps) and gives much energy push (1625 pound-feets). The moos only weigh 400 kg (880 pound on four feets).
Such specialised equipment is not required for killing moos (steer). We just tie them to a post and use a 45ACP to the brain. No sense in spoiling the beef with body shots.
I don't think the 505 has enough powder capacity for a .177( or .17) you should look at a 50BMG case. If you really want to use the 505 case maybe you should look at a .14/505Gibbs.
And remember "speed kills" ( this is from an add campaign here in Aus about road deaths)
I'm still pissed that they stopped building my ultimate gun down in Texas (?) a few years back. That linear accelorator would have been the cat's meow! A proton at near the speed of light, now THAT's a flat shooting SOB!
H�ll� again! Thank you for the much expert know how!
BBS, I will build the .177/.50 BMG gun and now the m��s will be knocked down and not complain so much as before.
Old4x4, I am thinking you are right. If the m��s weigh 880 pounds on four feets (only 220 pounds on each feet) then if he gets hit with the 1.1 g Sako bullet which makes the 1625 pound-feets he must go more than 7 feets! Many time the m��s trots across the bog on two feets and he is hard to knock down because he weigh more on two feets. Yes?
Make the � by typing the alt and u together than type the a.
Atkins�n is very a old Baltic name. I am thinking that Ray is a very old ancestor maybe of mine.
Thank you all again for the much h�lp! G�d jag!
For moos you need to get wit Craftsman as he recently neck a 50 Cal. machine gun case to a phonograph needle and shoots his moos wit a Runger N.2.....he sez it kill better mit di solid.
