38 at a 12000 lb enraged african elephant.You will reach his brain with about as much chance as you walking on Pluto.And in 10 seconds Wow! Or when that 600 lb charging african Lion comes out of the bush at 50 ft wanting to kill you what kind of composure/and just thinking hey my. Tell me what bullet placement are you going to do which that punny Anyone can do a STUPID STUNT.(anyone can die )

They will surely get the job done, too.Ĭome on now! some of you guys now are saying bullet placement is everything and ballistics is nothing? Put down whatever your smoking and get real. Verily, I still use light loaded 158gr SLJHPs in my Service Six. That 38spl will outshoot and outkill any 40S&W out there, and can easily handle some punk with a crowbar coming at you.įor home defense, I say the 38spl is the tops. 45 auto, even though they have little or no experience with guns, can barely clean them properly, and just go with what the Joneses are doing. It is funny to me how everyone wants a 40S&W or a. I recently negotiated a 38spl snubnose for my friend and coworker, because she loves that round and likes to have a snubnose revolver handy. Making the statement that a 38spl is "better" or even equal to a magnum or 44 load is silly. There doesn't have to be rhyme or reason for fallingin love with a cartridge, or expousing it's virtues. I still love that round, but I REALLY love the. I can go get some hard cast 200gr, and have a sledgehammer flying toward anything that draws a breath.Ĭan't do all that with a 38spl, but what you CAN do with one is kill any man who dares to break in your house and threaten you or your family. I can load 160gr, or better to run around 1500FPS and that will do for most game here in the US, barring the Grizzly. I can load them to run around 1000FPS, or I can run them HOT, at around 1500-1800 with 158grJHP. 357mag has more room to play, even for a novice handloader with a 6.5" revolver. 38spl will kill most things inside of 25yds, with a well placed shot, a. 357mag fan, since my first Ruger BH, and the amazing versatility of this round, I have to disagree, but only on THAT point. Moral of the story,nothing beats big bullets on big stuff especiallyīeing a. He said I dont care I cant stand to even look at that gun. I explained I bet if you used a 300-340gr that bear would be a rug. He never found the bear.he was getting anxious just talking about it.He did not want that gun and said the gun dealer would give him $425 and if I wanted it its mine.Heck ya I bought it.I asked what round did you use?He said he wanted somthing kinda fast?180 gr. Yds.He said the bear knew he was there and was being somewhatĪggresive.(Clicking teeth/eye contact etc.)his first shot he said the bear instantly went right up his tree towards his treestand.Of course he was shakin and fired another in his chest and the remaining 4 as fast as he could but he didnt know if the other 4 hit anything. Me two months prior he went bear huntin in Maine and took a shotĪt a Big Black Bear,hitting it in the shoulder.he guessed aprox 500lbs.He said it was at 25-30 I said to her you have to be kiddin and went over that day.He told Husband wanted to sell his like new S&W 629 44Mag w/Ultradot/5boxes ammo/2 holsters etc. 38 THIS TIME but next time you might get veral years back a lady at work said her You can get lucky and kill a bear with the. 454 Casull cartridge has even been used to harvest animals as large as Cape Buffalo and African Elephants.) For this reason, it is marketed as a hunter's sidearm. In its larger calibers, the Raging Bull is a potent weapon with plenty of stopping power. (The Raging Bull is a revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International firearm company. I know for a fact the 454 Casull has taken e below from guns mag.and I know that 300gr punch bullet will out penetrate the Buffalo bore Bullets. 460 weatherby mag.īut in all honesty the Redhawk shoots a Buffalo bore 44+p+ while the 454casull is a close) Is really pushing it but I would just be interested,of course with my PH behind me with his.

I know that shooting the elephant/cape buff deal as I stated prior
