He's the one who had the 50 blowup on him, nearly killed him.Note to self: Don’t get shot by the Lott.
That’s quite a round.
Just discovered this video when searching for 40 S&W ballistics test out of a carbine. The guy's nuts but it's pretty cool.
Nope it's not relevant but I have little control over Google's algorithms.........I don't think that is relevant to 40 S&W
You couldn't get me to shoot that thing.
It's pretty impressive penetration though.
I thought it was a ballistics gel rabbit hole...Nope it's not relevant but I have little control over Google's algorithms.........
A dangerous game rifle should weigh around twenty pounds or so. And have a recoil pad. And the shooter wearing a padded shooting jacket when doing so. And only if Mr. Elephant attacks.
At one time, there was some question about the level of power of a .458 Win Mag.
I think I've found my next squirrel rifle...
Good for you! I've developed loads for a .458 Winchester and a .450/.400 Nitro Express 3 1/2 inch. Neither was what I think of as 'fun'. I could fire either rifle at need, but I feel that 'need' would likely be one of the dangerous animals trying to damage me.My 458 Lott weighs 10 pounds. Recoil is not bad at all. My 4 bore only weighs 17 pounds. It has a brass butt plate. No recoil pad.It has 4 times the recoil of the 458 Lott. I have never worn a padded shooting jacket and never gotten a bruised shoulder from shooting it.
The 458 Lott is a beast.
My Ruger No. 1 will shoot through 39 1/2 inches of pine with a 500gr Hornady FMJ bullet.
.224 62gr M855 bullet, 600gr Barnes Original , Fired 500gr Hornady ( the pine one ) , 500gr barnes X bullet ( also fired into the pine )

Recoil wise... I wouldn't want to fire many rounds while seated at a bench.
Standing, you can roll with the recoil.
and you whining and moaning about him whining and moaningHe was whining and moaning about not being able to recover any of the bullets. A 5 gallon bucket filled with water or sand would be a low tech cost effective solution. Or wet newspapers.
Many years ago I saw a test with a .45 Colt revolver that was used to take Cape Buffalo. It was loaded with hard cast lead bullets, and obviously specifically made for this hunting. It was way beyond a typical load. It got 48” penetration in wet newspaper
Squirrel apocalypse! Where's my .700 Nitro Express?!!!
