500 Smith & Wesson vs Frozen Turkeys
Bearing Arms ^ | 23 Nov, 2015 | Bob Owens

Posted on 11/26/2015 8:35:33 AM PST by MtnClimber

One .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. One Underwood Ammunition bullet loaded with a 350-grain Xtreme Penetrator bullet moving at roughly 1,850 feet per second. Five frozen turkeys.

Sounds like fun!

But give me room service at the MGM Grand in Vegas any day :)

You mid west and southern folk!! You’re so American!!

We NYC city folk like tall beautiful buildings and sleazy bars and women to appreciate by the thousands :) At least I do (did).

It is 18F and snowing right now. Got the wood burning stove fired up so it is toasty inside.

Why carry a .500? ,,, Because they don’t make a .501

I need to know something. - I have the old Smith & Wesson
that belonged to my great-great grandfather when he
worked as a lightkeeper on the Tennessee River. - It still
works like a charm and is LOUD. That’s OK. - Anyway, what I
am aaking & can’t get an answer. - We always keep a big
container of bacon grease. - Will it hurt to dip the
bullets in the grease before I load the gun? - It won’t gum
up the works, will it?

Why carry a .500? Because you’re worried your 460 is too puny for hunting elephant.

Bacon is cured with salt. I wouldn’t introduce salt into the cylinders where it can corrode the steel.

Well, didn’t Obama want us to talk about Gun Control over Thanksgiving? Good control of a large caliber handgun.

Nope. Jeff Chandler & the other guy say it’s a bad idea
because bacon is cured with SALT which corrodes metal.
