Hell of a site, sir!

I really liked the work done by the 515 grain 45-70 boolit at 1500 FPS, and the comments about the destruction it wreaked on drywall, water jug, bricks, and its continuation downrange "mad as hell".

More information. :Fire:

The purpose of the Box is to test the penetration of various rounds.

There is only one way to know how much a certain round penetrates.

You must shoot it into a medium and see for a fact.

The shotgun and slug is an awesome combination. So is the 45-70 Guide Gun and it can reach out better.

Sheetrock walls may hide you but offer no protection.

Jim,

Yeah I use to wonder about those shows when I was kid. It didn't take me long as teenager to find out it was all phooey.

I'd still feel halfway safe behind a wagon box, if they didn't shoot anything bigger than a .44-40 at me. The old ones were made of good hard wood, not pine like the new repros.
However, I will still let you shoot at my hat on a stick first, just to make sure....
I wonder how many really fell for that one? I know my grandad said they did it in the trenches in WW1, and drew a fair amount of fire, when they were in an active zone.
