Big B, good point, back in the day i couldnt tear up either 300gr Speer unicor in a long barreled 44 Ruger or a 454 Casull, i ran those slugs into all kinds of crap, much tougher bullet than the 300gr FA factory loaded bullet, it;s nice to run into reasonably priced bullets that are bar brawler tough.


Sir Jerry,
Hell yes on the vermin exterminator, but maybe just 28" barrel and 10 pounds to make Creedmoor rules,
with this bullet from CEB:

SealTite band hanging out into throat, 10" twist good for 1300 fps to 2000+ fps ...
That dog would hunt too, as well as sit on a picnic table.
