You know. the 444 is a little light if you want my opinion. Those critters can be tough to put down sometimes. I' m thinking something along the lines of at least a 460 Weatherbe mag as a minimum. Come on if you are going to do it then do it right.[8D]

how on earth did the .17 hmr do that [] , hell , my .22 never even comes close to anything like that , , did you put nitro glyserine in the hollow point tip or something ,

P.S.- that' s pretty damn impresive , that' s for sure

I' ve seen that before. If the hawg was standing on rock or hard dirt, the bullet hit just in front of him and the rock fragments did most of the damage. Ive seen this with a .300 Wby Mag on a prairie dog at 400 yards. Unbelievable!

[link]http://www.dogbegone.com/video.htm[/link] watch the maximum carnage snippet or whatever, its the last one. In the videos they only used 3 calibers a 223. a 22-250 and last but not least the 17 hmr in an new england firearm. I realy dont know if it was a 17 hmr used in the picture, but hey there is a chance but trust me the little pills are explosive, they hit harder than u would think sorry i should of had my facts together before posting the picture. after watching the video tell me if u think its the 223 or the 22-250 being using the clip cause i want one

That was interesting to say the least. I wish I could shoot an elk and have it gutted instantly like that.I think they were using explosive bullets.

well,
the website says " there' s a reason nobody has images like ours " and i can see why , but, if you really wanna see disgusting , you should see a tractor trailer semi hit a deer on 33, or 22 , or i80 , or 222 . especially when the deer runs out in front of them and they hit it broadside at full highway speed , the way they fly apart is really groce.


how would you go about getting bullets like that legally? , if they are legal ? i don' t think i' de want to try that myself to be truthful
i' ll stick to good old fashioned hollow points
