A great round.

Even the .458 Win. Lead round ball and 3 grains of Bullseye will kill a squirrel!


Oh, you need to tell about this one!


Some people might call it a stunt.

I think it is just trying to define the limits of usefulness.

It started in the winter of '74/75. We had a very cold spell and I didn't want to go outside to shoot (in was in the -20F range). I had just turned 17.

My dad had a steel plate that he had liberated from the scrap pile at work. I rigged up a frame that held that plate at roughly a 45 degree angle over my mother's wash tub, in the basement.

Oh yeah...I did.

Lee cast bullet in the 7Mag with 2 grains of Bullseye with a cotton wad over the top. Great part was, I could retrieve the bullets out of the tub and recycle them in the lead pot!

Fast forward...if I can shoot a 7Mag in the basement, surely I can kill a squirrel (and a duck, too) with round balls in the .458.

Oh yeah.

Don't try this at home... smile
