Fun with the 458 Lott video

Hi Guys

25 lt water drums@ 25 yds (video clip)

1/2" steel plate with the 375 and the 458 Hornady solids.

Hunting is getting as close as you can, shooting is getting as far away as possible.

Are you sure that is 1/2" thick plate?

Hi Pegleg

Actually it was just over a centimeter but I dont think the additional 1mm would have stopped the bullet.

You must be right Hikerbum and Pegleg I forgot that an American Inch is twice as thick as British Inch.

Also the holes had nothing to do with 5600ft/llbs of relatively slow moving solid projectile hitting the metal.

No way those drums hold 25 liters.

That doesn't look like 25 yards either.

Just kidding.

Thanks for posting.

Some folks apparently need to learn how to relax and enjoy the show.

Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer.

I've also shot metal with the Hornady bullets before, really messes it up.

Be careful though, shot a piece once at 50 yards and had the jacket shoot back at me.

Hi KennethI

Yep its kind of scary shooting at metal sheeting. We hid behind sandbags and cleared the ranges either side before we fired to avoid ricochet and hot secondary projectiles.

Mark: Glad to hear that somewhere in England, the lads get to shoot their Lotts.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.
