Technical question for expert

Hï¿½ guys! I hï¿½v 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).

Some buddy who know?

That would be a great combination till the 5th shot and your barrel's rifling no longer exists.

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)

Not every buddy's getting the fact that this is a joke...

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!

I have 2 technical questions:

1. What's the ballistic coefficient of a proton?

2. How do you make the "a" with the little dots above it?

Am I the first one to accidentally get beer on the keyboard and screen as a result of this post?

Hï¿½llï¿½ again! Thank you for the much expert know how!

BBS, I will build the .177/.50 BMG gun and now the mï¿½ï¿½s will be knocked down and not complain so much as before.

Old4x4, I am thinking you are right. If the mï¿½ï¿½s 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 mï¿½ï¿½s trots across the bog on two feets and he is hard to knock down because he weigh more on two feets. Yes?

Make the ï¿½ by typing the alt and u together than type the a.

Atkinsï¿½n 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 hï¿½lp! Gï¿½d jag!
