Grizz, Just for You
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

Re: Grizz, Just for You
Thanks for that link, he is fun to watch. I hope he backs up to a hundred and does that again, and backs up with water for bullet capture. Did he say the cast is 400gr? Looked around 440 to me, but maybe it's seated out.
He is so well spoken. And he is right about picking your bullet. I think he could slow down that cast bullet to 1050 or so, and still pass through one block. Not sure about the second one.
Another difference between wounds is that the expander grinds up meat, you can lose a lot of back strap or liquefy a neck roast, but the hard cast puts round holes in bones.
Thanks again for the link. Really enjoy seeing that stuff

Here's Jerry with a 45/70 six-shooter. He's so much fun to watch. I wonder what he would say about my 405 gr 44mag load doing 947 or something close to that, from a 5.5 inch barrel?
Or my 525 gr bullet going 1310 fps from Blaine's ten inch BFR? That 525 exits my guide gun about, I don't even remember, 1460 maybe???? stopped in jug #12. I bet he'd have a BIG SMILE shooting those.

He is TOTALLY RIGHT about the versatility of the 45/70, and I like his respect for the achievement.

I surely wish I still had that one....We shot a couple of Garrett's Hammerheads thru that BFR, too...Grizz wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 8:15 pm Here's Jerry with a 45/70 six-shooter.
