Answering the important questions.
;~ )
.308 is pretty impressive.
I’d like to see how my 7.5x55 compares.
That depends on the frying pans. Cast iron being the most durable. Teflon coating, or lack thereof won’t really matter. Be prepared for richorchets.
I have an almost 50-year cast iron skillet. Don’t want anyone shooting it.
The premise is invalidated after the first hole. Replace the pans for a valid test.
has some pretty crazy videos.
Better question: How many Barbara Walters videos does it take to stop a round?
Rich or Chets?
I’m ready for both of those guys.
He rotated the pans so fresh ones were in the front.
Not perfect, but the already-damaged pans weren’t touched until the .50 cal.
My late grandmother called hers a spider.
The thing was freaking huge.
Good thing grandma was built like a tall tank.
And nobody else touched it.
She cared for it, seasoned it, had it for decades.
I think that thing could have stopped a mortar.
A spider skillet has three legs, which mine doesn’t. At least mine’s from back when the manufacturers would grind the cooking surface of the pan smooth, which they all seem to have quit doing quite a few years ago.
I know. :-)
And grandma still called her smooth bottomed cast iron fry pan a spider.
Nobody argued with her about it.
Especially when she was wielding it.
One handed.
You know, that got me to thinking...
My grandparents were farmers. And grandad had quite the shop in his barn.
Delighted us kids. We got into all kinds of mischief there.
He might very well have done that to grandma’s pan.
I hadn’t thought of that. Spiders are good for cooking on a campfire, but the legs are a disadvantage when cooking on a stove. Your grandad might indeed have ground the legs off your grandma’s spider for that reason.
I’ve often wondered who ended up with my grandma’s skillet after she passed in 2008, just shy of her 100th birthday.
It depends. In some video games it only takes one.
Probably quite a few if it’s a .460 weatherby magnum with buffalo bore solid brass bullet
I’d reckon
Lol! It’s probably been misspelled. Ricochet is not a verb I often need to use day to day.
You can buy slick cast iron non stick from Field
But they are pricey
Lodge takes effort to get up to snuff through a dozen uses usually
Nothing disburses heat like cast iron but careful touching handle
