Let me start by saying: I’m skeptical. The idea of a bullet from a rifle plowing through brush and being accurate and lethal on the other side…?

So, what about that? Dad, and sundry outdoors magazine writers I read as a kid, always talked about various rifle cartridges that were better at brush busting. It seems, generically, that flat nosed, heavy, slower bullets were considered better at this.  (Of course, by the same lore, smaller, lighter bullets will fling off into the never never if even the smallest blade of grass or twig dares touch them mid flight…) 45-70 Govt., .44 mag, .30-30, etc.

So is it true? Will some cartridges shoot through brush better than others? Has this been tested, or is it just hunter’s musings? …and, where would 450 Bushmaster figure into this?

We are living in a clown world

Holiday Spirits Review #9: BuzzBallz - Egg Nog!



Bottom Line: I got nothing on the nose but John spelled orange. John got alcohol & orange. I only got a hint of vanilla. No eggnog flavor and the constancy of milk. 1 Thumb up & 1 neutral thumb!
