Now after kents test i know that a bullet can knock over a animal.

The barrel weight about 600-650 pounds and fell over, and kent use the 500 jeffery whit 440 grains bullets.

Now if a moose weight 600 pounds, and i shoot the moose at 50 yards whit a 585 nyati 750 grains bullets at 2500 f/S then the moose are going to be knocked down.


And you guys have said all the time that a big bore dont can knock over a animal....!

You guys dont know much about the real hunting world...!

And i think that if you use 900 grains bullets in 577 T-REX it would be more knock down power in them than in the 750 grains bullet. Even if the 750 grains bullet have more energy because of the higer speed.

I think the 900 grains bullet will hit harder than a 750 grains bullet even if it have less energy...!

Overkill,

I have shot many Roe deer which have a live wieght of around 70lbs with my .308..some fall over on the spot but many have a death run/leap which can be anything from a few feet to 100 yards...

With all due respect, tests such as kents don't prove anything....

I don't see, being as ignorant as I am, how a bullet weighing as much as 1000 grains can "knock" over an animal weighing even 100lbs.. A bullet acts much like a hypodermic needle, no? There isn't much resistance, not enough to move the target object. A bullet wouldn't work very well if that was indeed the principle. Please, correct me if I am wrong. Every day, more and more, I realize how ignorant I am and I can only strive to become more aware.

Sure, dear Overkiller. And when you once do your military service, you gonna be a tanker, with a real BIIIIG GUN that makes WOOOM and topples lots of things over.

Not sure what this barrel test was all about, but Newton's Third Law holds that for every action there is an opposite, and equal, reaction. Therefore, any firearm that launched a projectile that could physically knock over a 600 pound object would also knock over a 600 man holding it during firing.
