Pedro beat me to it,,,,,,,,,,,,
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

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... :P ... :lol:

“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...
