Here`s another "what gun would you use" post.....
Three situations- three handguns:
1) Cape buffalo broadside at 40yds
2) Mule deer " " 98yds
3) Coyote " "170yds

My choice of handguns 1) FA`s 475 using Belt Mtn. 390gr Punch
bullet.
2)FA`s 454 with handload using 300gr partition bullet.
3)Contender in 6.5JDJ using Sierra 100grHP.
PS- right now I think we could all use someting else to talk about then what happened yesterday.....

Good idea James!

1) BFR 7.5" .454 Casull, w/iron sights and 335 gr Cast Performance bullet
2) Freedom Arms 6" .454 Casull w/2X Burris and 300 gr Nosler Partition
3) Contender 14" 7-30 Waters w/2-7 Burris and 120 gr Nolser Ballistic Tip

#1 would be my 4 5/8" iron sighted Reeder 475 with 375 or 425 gr cp's although I've considered trying to build loads with solids meant for the 470 Nitro.
#2 and #3 would be my 7-30 contender with 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.

1) 6" FA 475 with 400 grain cast
2) 6" FA 454 335 cast
3) 7.5" FA 454 335 cast 4x Leupold

#1 475 linbaugh with 375gr mbw hardcast.
#2 encore in 308 win with 150gr nosler bt
#3 encore in 308 win with 125gr nosler bt or anything I could get my hands on at the time.

Encore 45-70 405 over 49gr H4198
RSH 44 Mag 300 XTP(second crimp line) over 23Gr H110
Encore 6mmPPC 70 Nosler BT over 28gr H335

alright, pab and tc, you guys need to get 475's, you've ruined the whole pattern.LOL

Well,

#1 SRH in 480 Ruger with a good heavy bullet.

#2 XP100 in 35 Remington with 180gr Hornady SSP

#3 Encore with a 223 barrel and 50gr Blitz King

I have a lot of other options especially for #1 but I don't want to ruin the pattern and post something not in 475 caliber. LOL<LOL

How about my .460 for all of them.

Excellent question James,
1. Freedom Arms 454 with a 360-grn True Shot
2. Freedom Arms 454 with a 260-grn Nosler Partition
3. Contender in 6.5 JDJ with a 100-grn Nosler BT

I would use my Contender in 375JDJ for all of them!

A Contender In:

1).375JDJ

2).30-30AI

3).204Ruger

.475 Linbaugh
.44mag SBH Hunter
.243 Win. T/C Contender

1) Cape buffalo broadside at 40yds

probably never will in this, or the next lifetime, but i'd use one of them big ones!

if the 375jdj is big enough...i guess i'd use it.


2) Mule deer " " 98yds

i guess the same thing i use for whitetail. the 35remington, 30-30AI, and a 7mm-08 if using the encore.


3) Coyote " "170yds

i'd use one of the small 6mm's. the 6x45, 6x47, and 6tcu would be perfect.

well i don't have one big enough for no1 so i would have to
buy one for that

no2 7mm08
no3 6.5jdj 120gr bt
larry

Alright, how is this?
(1) FA 475 With(I have no idea!)
(2) Encore 7mm08 with 139 SpBt and Varget
(3) Contender 6mm TCU with 70 Sierra and H335 (this barrels is shooting one hole groups at 100 yards!!!!!!!!)

Is that better Rod? It spreads the wealth a little more as well.

much better,LOL

1) Cape buffalo broadside at 40yds = pellet gun to the nads (just to see how tough he really is)

2) Mule deer " " 98yds = 44 SBH Hunter (never shot a mulie with it)

3) Coyote " "170yds = 308 encore (why not?)

That's just not right!! LOL<LOL<LOL

I think you had better have some back up for the mad, sore nad buffalo!!

I don't think he would chase me. (could you run after taking a pellet to the nads?)

A .475 is definitly on the wish list. I bought too many toys this year (including both .454 Casulls)so it might be a while.

375 win, cause it's the biggest i got

30-30 ack

223

Lars

1) Cape buffalo broadside at 40yds ---- Encore 350 Rem Mag Open Sights

2) Mule deer " " 98yds----- XP 30 BR

3) Coyote " "170yds ---- Model 25 Smith & Wesson Just to see if I could hit him

Apparently Tigger knows a thing or two about nads, so I think He has changed my mind. I think I'll trade my pellet gun for something bigger. Do they make a 450 Nitro in the Encore? Thanks Tigger.

LOL<LOL glad I could help out!

Why not a 44mag with some garrett ammo for #1
and 44mag with 250gr nosler partition for #2
and I'd have to let the yote walk because I don't have a pistol for that distance or call him in closer
