I was musing about trying the .375 H+H Magnum on a crow or hare.
The ol crow lights up well when you hittem with 4,000 fps of 22/250 HPs
A little too much power.

I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!

798gr is that enough to properly take care of a puss* .. Just looking at the gram conversion mate...

“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!
An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!
I love my country, but fear my government.

A roo-shooter mate of mine was grading some property roads for us a few years back.
Greg used to bring his .416 Taylor with him, in case he saw anything while grading.
I made the mistake of letting him talk me into shooting it one day; using one of his so-called 'Pussy' loads.
Yeeaahhhh...freaking thing kicked like a mule, and the scope tried to ram my sunglasses into my head.
However, the pigeon I was aiming at; vaporised...
At least there was little chance any pigs/dogs/cats/rabbits were going to get away, if he encountered them...
