Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Still think over-penetration is a non-issue? Read this...

BFR, what exactly type of shooting do you do?

Appreciate that. I was quite pleased. If you paid attention, though, you'd have caught that I have a bit of familiarity with the Kel-Tec pistols.



Huh?

Can someone provide a coherent, sober, comprehensible English translation of this?

Why in the flying hell you you go hunting WITH THE WRONG BULLET!

Anybody who cannot cleanly harvest a game animal should not be hunting.

I have refrained from comment on a lot of this thread due to trying to remain polite.

A few things have me scratching my head in a WTF? manner.

This gem from BFR being one:

"The .357 is proven for people and so is the .41 but the .44 mag is not as good, blows through with less damage. The .41 was not good because of recoil. "

So a .410 projectile is G2G, but a projectile 19 thousandths of an inch bigger, IE a .429 projectile is no good, due to it blowing right through...


That makes perfect sense, if you don't think about it...

Mackay has a way of summing schit up, and well.

I will tell you why, it was the stupid junk from experts that said just use a FN or WFN. Yeah I fell into the trap. Internet experts. Gun rags that are worse.
Many promote such false information and it took me a while to wean out Just how bad you want others to follow you. I had sad results with a WLN so went to a WFN because of internet experts. What false junk, wish I could cuss!
You see I was following some of you "experts".
I came to truth so don't blow smoke at me. I doubt you have any idea what what a proper cast will be.

N

A larger diameter projectile at the same speed does less damage, yea that's a head scratcher

So the bullet was junk because the deer died?


You make more and more sense with every post

Yep, and the 270 mm won't hurt even a rabbit.

Questioning whether Scott has a clue as to "a proper cast bullet"... That's some funny schit right there.

Perhaps we ought to drag HawkI in here so he can be "educated" on the subject as well.

Rather certain jwp475 and Whitworth should attend the "lessons", too.

It seems that we've now progressed from defensive shooting with a handgun (a subject bfr clearly hasn't a clue or any experience about), to deer hunting with a handgun. I think I'll just pull up a chair for this one, as I've only killed a handful of deer with handguns, though I know who knows their schit about the same.

Yes over 200 yards with no blood for 100 yards. Deer die but you need to have them in hand. Crawl on your hands and knees for hundreds of yards and show just how smart you are.
Another keyboard "Expert". WOW, you are so good you you can find deer spit on a twig. You see a blade of grass broken.
You are amazing so come here and find deer in a few seconds, Damned fool.

You're right! I always say the bullet failed when a deer dies

I say it a little different. I say the hunter failed if the deer runs away. Do it right and you don't need to look for a blood trail.

Cast bullet? What is a cast bullet? Is that when you cast a sinker then tie it to a fishing line and cat it out into the water real fast?

Even then you don't want hard cast, it scares the fish, soft lead only.

Thinking about it. A.45 inch hole through both lungs is still gonna bleed...alot. i think he's full of scheit and probably ass shot it

Haldol and alcohol is BFR's issue.

Sounds about right. One of the most important things about hunting is knowing when not to shoot.

Some years back I shot a fat doe at maybe 20 yards, using a 44 Redhawk scooting a 300 grain XTP at a known 1310 fps. She goosed just as I broke the shot and I hit her high through the lungs about 6" behind the shoulder. She bled a lot and was easy to track but she made it 250 yards through some awful creekbed cover before I found her. Just a FWIW.

I don't doubt at all that a der could cover several hundred uards after being double lunged

I don't buy that he double lunged it and it didn't bleed

a mule deer at 240 yards with a .22 hornet in a handgun would fall into the category of "knowing when not to shoot" for 99% of the shooters that I know…..congratulations on one heck of shot. It does tend to make me think that you were being serious and not sarcastic in you're closing statement however.
