I sneaked in and she came my way some.
Twenty yard shot through sticks.

Here is the round.

Less than 5grn of Greendot and a 158fmj reversed bullet, sounds like a 2" .410!

Bill, I live in a tiny spot of England that has very few deer! They are all around me but not on me!Bill in Oregon wrote:Another fine hunt, Nath, and thank you for sharing. I just had friends from Cambridgeshire visit and they were explaining just how much hunting opportunity there still is in many parts of England. They also told me there is a serious problem with over-abundant deer. Do you ever get to hunt them Nath?
All I know is they are pretty good to 50yds or so and after 80 they start to drop fast and they don't bounce far!Eye-Bite! wrote:Wondering what the Paper Punch would look like on a target, considering it's aerodynamically flying backwards against the engineering.

They are slowly moving in though and I leave them alone, I want a surplus to establish first. Trouble is no one else thinks like that!
I use to travel to Scotland alot to hunt deer, had my fair share, actually I was there all but a year ago and got a roe buck but I don't find it all that exciting anymore.

Thinking about it, just how is it against the engineering?
In general terms, Most if not all bullets have a (shaped ?) point or leading front edge for some sort of efficiency of movement through the air on flight. The back side is either flat or (Indented?) such as yours. That would help the gas push the bullet rather than a Pointed bullet channeling the gases towards the rifling in the barrel and not building up to push the bullet forward in an efficient manor. Just a guess on that only. If the Indented bottom of the bullet is going through the air first, one would think it would catch the air rather than spiral through it efficiently. Those are my thoughts of why a Paper Punch on a paper target may give a good indication of or if anything.

I would guess all those photos are made by manufactured bullets with the engineering to go in a forward direction and that they are engineered to go that way with the sole intention of that. In your case.... it's just the opposite. Just my Opinion.Nath wrote:Ok eye bite, you take alook at these,

the quality of his hunting opportunity always amazes me.mod71alaska wrote:Nath, I'm surprised there are any fox left in your neck of the woods and fields of England! You sure have good hunting there!!! Thanks, as always, for sharing your successful hunts and your rifles and beautiful Tia with us.

Yeah, I meant to try that in my 30/30 but never did, bet it works though and you/we won't be the first to as well!Dusty Texian wrote:Thank's Nath. for a look into Huntin in England. That turning the bullet around Idea is top's kinda opens the door of thought for me. I have a few hundred 168 grn. FMJ's in .308 that can be used in my 30-30 backward's and can be loaded in the magazine ,because of the hollow base as a tip will not harm the primer on the next round. Also think it will Knock the Waddin out of whatever it hit's . Gonna give it a try and report back,Thank's Amigo.........Dusty Texian
When folks reverse their car.... It's because it's designed for that activity.Nath wrote:And when folk reverse thier car your opinion is?
And when folk swage bullet jackets from spent 22 cases is that also all wrong?
And when a patched ball rifle happens to shoot well sprue down is that all wrong too?

1930 Vs 2013... Not relevant.
I agree with your pretty much so etc. Diesel fuel is made for a single purpose but, used in a different manor than designed can be hazardous. That also goes for butter knives. (Most probably a poor analogy there). Should you do what you do is what you do etc. I never heard of anyone being hurt by it also. I have talked with maybe? 4-5 people who do it and it was or seems to me as an issue that why they do it is because they want to be perceived as being the go to person that is in the know or the forefront of Firearms knowledge or it's just plain cool and have no actual answer. After a few questions that started with the word "Why" the subject quickly changed or their Ignorance of the subject matter quickly diminished to dirt. Although I will always promote safety.... I will always respect the opinions of others... to each his own so to speak.

I think we are all in more danger driving to the range than this. Or hunters getting snow in their muzzle.
To think this easy to do abnormal thing can be so dangerous and there is no bold print warnings on box's of bullets is amazing!
Suppose some folk just like their opinions so so much that all sense leaves them.
