...another "Which Gun" question....

Post by AJMD429 »

I'm thinking my 375 Ruger for some reason...

Anyway, I always muse over 'which gun' when I see things like this...

I guess that means I'm a redneck sociopath who doesn't play well with others.... :oops:

I've got some approx 500 gr lead reloads. It should only take one. I imagine it would be best to learn where the sweet spot is first. If you've seen "Battle, Los Angeles" you know what I mean.

If it's armored, those lead boolits might splat instead of penetrate. :? :?

So....maybe a 300 RUM or Weatherby with a saboted 40 grain 223 hardened steel projectile at around 4,500 fps... :twisted:

I'd bet the "knees" wouldn't hold up to a good wack. They walk up at hit it with a stun gun. That might fry it's innards.

.45-70 could be retrofitted with something that would penetrate. It might take a bench drill press and some ball bearings.

I bet an old - fashioned 16 pound sledge hammer would be good.

45/70 to the face should work well, being as flat as it is. no need to reboot.
