No.
The best ever is in my safe.
I'm not telling you what it is, because if the word got out I would be unable to buy cheap brass.
I understand a few guys have figured it out though.


Tracks,

Some would disagree and answer YES!

Whacks the snot out of long ears!

It is adequate for pests (varmints) up to the size of pachyderms and rhinos (rhinos have thick skin, do they qualify as "pachyderms"?). If you have a garden near these kinds of critters, they are varmints, not trophy animals.

It will certain kill mice, rats, voles, moles etc and if one misses the muzzle blast usually will drive them into the next county.

One could even use it around the house for flies and skeeters on the walls. Home Depot would be happy.

Therefor all bases are covered, and it's "the best" varmint cartridge ever.

The .375 H/H will do in a pinch and some dude back in the day killed big sheit with a 6.5 mm and roundnosed bullets or something, but the big .460 is the BEST.

Geno

PS, the only "varmints" I have shot are rats, with a bb gun. But I know whatof I speak. I read the innanet a lot. ALL the info one needs is out there, just google it. (I read that somewhere too)
