oh yeah

well 5.56 is small

I've never shot .45-70

That looks painful

virgin intermediate vs chad elephant killer

The muzzle energy is about 4700J

For comparison .50AE is about 2000J

.45-70 will cause a nigger's head to explode like a melon

Pics or it didn't happen

I'm waiting on my moonman mask before I try that.

What's the max effective range on it, though?

<:moonman:390573776301195269>

@Jossur Surtrson 3,350 yards

It's for big game hunting

that's max range

not max practical range

500 grain bullet at around 700 m/s

What's the bullet type?

.45-70-500

I can split heads with a 556 at 500 yards no problem. Not sure of the trajectory angle on the 45-70 at that range

@Jossur Surtrson It's really not a practical cartridge for combat tbh

It's more for lul factor or for shooting big game

Is it pretty expensive to shoot?

I'm just interested in it. Not saying it's a bad round. Never heard of it before.

Definitely has punching power, that's for sure.

@Fevs I've never needed to buy more since none of my ranges will let me shoot it. It goes around 2-3 dollars per round for 500 grain, so yeah it's pricey

I'm saving it for the race war as such.

damn

At 2-3 dollars a round, it better do more for me than hit my target. It better give me a back rub at night, too.

@Jossur Surtrson It will pass through a tree and make a deer's head explode

I mean total skull destruction

That's a "If I'm gonna die in this trench, I'm taking out as many of these people as I can in the most violent way possible" round.

like I said it's really just an oversized cartridge for luls

I use a 22-250 for deer.

The speed of the round causes hydrostatic shock. They typically drop where they stood.

Yeah those videos are chilling

They just stand there, and slowly drop dead

It's a beautiful thing. Spend less than a dollar to put meat on the table and money in my pocket that would otherwise be spent at some grocery store owned by (((someone))) I probably wouldn't like.

I don't hunt for sport

Hunting for sport is reserved for psychopaths
