Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 350 Legend vs House Cat

The cat was a decent sized Tom and was crouched facing me when I center punched his chest with a 160 gr Winchester Power Max bonded factory load from about 60 ft away.
Surprisingly, there was no exit.

I did kill another cat with a shot through the spine while facing away that left a softball sized hole on exit.

I think it's going to be 180 gr loads for game animals in the future.

Prolly would have exited if you had picked a cat with fewer than nine-lives left.

Figure 10" front-to-back TIMES 9 lives...you were asking the bullet to penetrate 90"

Exactly when is Oklahoma's house cat season?

Bullet on cat one prolly came out the poop chute.

You’re better than this.

Step up to a 458.

R.I.P. Fluffy…..🐈

Rich people. Using expensive ammo on house cats.😄

I carry a Single Six when hunting, for that purpose. If needed, it works as a finisher, too. I’ve been tempted to use it as a primary when the deer were under twenty yards…

I wholeheartedly approve of your choice of ballistic test media. Cheaper and more readily available than those gel blocks.
Keep up the good work 👍.

I have resorted to gut shooting them w a .22, so they run off and die. Then I don't have to worry about messing w them.

Works fine until fluffy makes it homes and croaks on the door step. Ounce for ounce they are tougher than rubber with a poorly placed shot.. mb

Never had an exit with a ball peen either.

Closest neighbor is my parents 1/2 mile, and if I don't shoot em pops does.

I don't think so. I am considering exploratory surgery in the interest of science.
