That's the website mate.
Maybe @Daisy could read it and stop believing in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and YouTube.

.....we are still talking about hunting 4 legged animals and not "primates" through....say a wall, correct?.....

Nah, nothing alive. I just shot a paper target, but when I did it was really dead.

@Doug Hamilton
And you would be more than welcome as long as it was seperate beds.
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Bob

Uh..yeah..what you said.

@Doug Hamilton
Was this figure of speech, to make a point, or you were serious about 50 BMG in hunting?
Who hunts with 50 BMG? And with what platform?

(BTW I agree with all you said, after 50 bmg)

@mark-hunter
There is a YouTube video of some Muppet shooting a giraffe in the head with a 50BMG. Worked well but to me it was a stunt.

Dang mate you can even kill paper targets with a poorly placed shot out of a 243. Not pretty but works well in paper and you don't need to track it usually.

I'd bet no follow up shot was required.

Bob, I do have to disagree with your comments on YouTube. There are a ton of videos on their that demonstrate real tests by real individuals that are not for marketing. This is one of my favorite channels lately. He repeats the same exact tests on different factory ammo into gel blocks. Some very good information on bullet performance and ammo performance in his videos.

Unfortunately not a figure of speech. I find this individual as unethical and disrespectful to the animals he hunts as those advocating for 223 on moose and elk, but unfortunately here is one of his videos. There are many more.

Definitely, not my "cup of tea".

It's probably not even legal, because, I doubt that he was even using an expanding bullet, which, as far I I know, is required for all big-game animals, in every state, in the USA.




This is also complete B.S...

You can't kill anything with a rifle without sending matter into the quarry.

You might be able to make it deaf, if you are close enough, but you won't kill it, unless you cause it to have a heart attack, stroke, or a lethal case of non-physical trauma.

I used to think that I was a nice guy...

As I approach 60, maybe I should just embrace "curmudgeon."
