I dunno about you guys, but if that don't qualify as a Thumper I don't know what would!!! Holy MACKEREL !!!!
No wonder it puts holes through 2000+ pound critters !!!!
But I can't help but wonder . . . . 3534 lbft of energy slapping the trigger puller in the shoulder . . . . . think that will leave a mark?
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
yes it is not for wimps or pygmys.
(nam era) yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley!

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Careful with that stuff Rumbler. A load like that in your Marlin will be a wholistic experience. It might give you a liver quiver that you might not be able to recover from...

Cant remember how hot it was loaded but I shot a 45-70 revolver, it was pretty mild compared to the sw460 mag
What was it a 500 grain bullet
Yeah. Can you imagine the 600 grain solids?!?!?!
Seriously, I don't feel the littlest need to shoot something like that.
I'm thinking of taking some 230 grain .451 round nose bullets, hitting them on the end with a hammer to make them bigger in diameter, and putting them on top of about 15 grains of IMR 800-x.

Just before I stuck an arrow in a big old doe this morning "VW" came trotting past my stand. If he is an ounce he is 350lbs. Might need some of them shortly. I plan on ending his career real soon. Wish I had had a rifle instead of my bow this morning.
Train like your life depends on it, cause it does.
I have dies on the way.
'already picked up a little bag of 425gr hardcast (50). Betcha that will drop a volkswagen in it's tracks.

I held one of those rounds yesterday. I still see it when I close my eyes. *shudder*
