Take care on the trip and I am hoping the satanists don't steal your upcoming election like they are doing here in the USA. The Democrat voters of USA sure do remind me of The Walking Dead zombies of comic book/TV show infamy. Looks like they are having a Joe Biden rally under the international bridge, highway overpass, at the Del Rio, TX border. That's about 13,000 Democrat voters in a rally ! Though that Democrat rally is small by Trump standards for attendance at rallies, it is a new record Democrat gathering, like a huge "herd" of zombies, or a huge "destruction" of feral cats, or a huge "stench" of skunks. What do you call a group of Democrats ? A "damnation" of Democrats. I made that up, but it is going to stick.
Back to TBPI not TBIP, ha ha on my typo:
The upcoming rifleshooter generation is a different breed, with their lack of admiration for the big bores, hung up as they are on rat calibers and tactical style. At least they will be well armed for the zombie apocalypse and CQB herd shooting. Apparently the big bore is an endangered species in that scenario. However, the .458 WM offers advantages for engaging herds at longer ranges, whereby shooting amongst a herd of zombies could take out a dozen or more of them if their heads are in line. Body shots can take down an equal number of them in a row for finishing with a sword slash or stab to the head.
We big bore fans are a dying breed, and it is our duty to hang on as long as we can to keep the art alive. I am thinking that using 400-grain/.458 bullets for everything might spare some wear and tear on the experienced practitioners of the art, allowing us to keep kicking for a longer duration. Physically less cumulative trauma on the body of the shooter, mentally less distracting too, no fretting over changing bullet weight effects, etc. "Beware the man with one bullet weight."
It is hoped that Hammer Bullets will soon be bringing out a winner in the "Legendary" 400-grain/.458-caliber, monometal copper, Shock Hammer hollow point. Hopefully it will have a ballistic coefficient about like the GSC HV (G1 += 0.372 at 2500 fps), or dare we hope for better ?
Optimum buffalo weights are nigh onto a ton at 600 yards, over 3000 pounds at 200 yards. That'll do. Many different 400-grain/.458-cal bullets of lesser BC will do at closer ranges. Pick your 400-gr poison to sling at chosen MV.
This is an easily achieved, practical load in the factory .458 Winchester Magnum rifle with 3.4" magazine box length. 2600 fps MV is possible in the .458 WM+ with 3.6" magazine, or Ruger No. 1 single shot. More fun than necessary is possible, just for kicks.
Ron aka "Rip" for Riflecrank Internationale Permanente NRA Life Benefactor and Beneficiary .458 Winchester Magnum, Magnanimous in Victory THE WALKING DEAD does so remind me of Democrap voters. Donkeypox.
