:clap:
Did you notice that slug tumble, as it exited the gelatin?

 

[Saluda]

Amazing video

That's one potent round !!

 

[cuznjohn]

i liked the way the flash happened in the gel after the slug came out the back of it

 

[Chupaca]

Cool. ..

Didn't even knock the gel block off the stump....that is one fast traveling slug. Cool how much havoc it caused the gel block :roflblack:

Or six

The .44 magnum is a nice round. :thumbup:
With a bit less than 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle; it's about the most that a lot of foils would want to be shooting...
But if you like SERIOUS power :
There's always the:
.454 Casull
.500 S&W magnum

These aren't bad. They'll make just about any North American game animal think twice, before coming into range...

But I went for even more power.
My .375 JDJ throws a 220 grain slug at 2,350 foot per second (muzzle velocity)
That works out to almost 2,500 foot pounds of muzzle energy.:bowdown:
That's from just a 14" barreled single-shot pistol
Loaded with 300 grain solids; this round has been used to legally harvest elephants, and cape buffalo.

I hunted deer for many years with my 5 1/2" Freedom Arms 454, it always did it's job.

I HAD THE S&W 44 mag, with a 6 inch barrel, the gun was a animal to shoot

I always liked that round.
I sort of kept a .44 Mag around only because you could literally get ammo for it anywhere.
(That; and I also had a matching Winchester lever-action, that used the same ammo)

Yeah,I hand load 250 grn.bullets for it and they are lots nicer to shoot than the factory 300 grainers.

 

[Bob Denman]

Did you ever try the 265 grain slugs that were developed for the .444 Marlin?

 

[Bob Denman]

Here's the Casull playing in the gelatin...

 

[Bob Denman]

...And the mighty .500 S&W Magnum...

That's one Helluva shock cavity!

 

[Bob Denman]

Just for grins; here's what happens when you use a .375 JDJ, to throw a 300 grain slug downrange...

 

[PW2013STL]

Now I have to decide which caliber to get when I go gel block hunting :banghead:

 

[Bob Denman]

Get something BIG! nojoke
When you're attacked by a gelatin block; you need all of the power you can muster! :shocked:

 

[cuznjohn]

i would love to try this

 

[oldguyinTX]

And we have this guy to thank for being able to watch this cool stuff. Harold "Doc" Edgerton, the pioneer in high speed/strobe photography & filming, which in effect, produces "slow motion".

Cuzn,
Thanks for the .950JDJ video! :clap:

(That's my little Hand-Cannon's BIG brother! :bowdown::bowdown:bowdown:
