Talking Box O' Truth

If you folks want to see some real world testing, check out this site. It also dismisses several "urban legends" when it comes to bullet performance.

This seems to be a site dedicated to gun/ammo intended to shoot people, and in particular through glass, doors, and other things which may get in the way. I can't say I have any interest in that. Is there something there related to big game hunting that I missed?

Yeah, that site is well known to a lot of us, especially mosin folk.

It's linked to (a lot by me) all around the forums here.

There's a few neat episodes where he uses his Shilo Sharps 45/70 "buffalo gun" and demonstrates why you don't get into fights with buffalo hunters. I'd call that "big game hunting".

I should correct my original post. I have the utmost respect for those that serve their country and protect our freedom, and in the process are forced to shoot people. Outside of the military and police, however, I personally don't have any interest. I'm much too old for the military or police service.

I love that website. He has several different articles which were very helpful. That's how i learned to strip my AR-15, mount the scope on my k31, strip my ak47 and much more.
