don't use birdshot for HD, just not a good idea. Worry more about shot placement than penetrating walls. Anything that will be effective on a human torso is going to go through most walls; use #4...
the EOT report was what got me going. I fireformed a bunch of .303 but it's a PITA, 444 is a better choice if you don't want to splurge for the more expensive magtech. you lose about a 1/4" but can...

seriously, don't you think someone would have found remains by now? I mean, unless they live forever or magically dissappear into thin air upon death, we've not found any dead ones. So methinks it's...

Kinda like zombies. fun to joke about but the people who actually believe that bigfoot is out there need a mental evaluation.
Bar Sto is king I believe, price reflects that also.

with as hard as .22's are to cast, I'm not messing with any .17, that's for sure!

Winchester shot themselves in the foot I think with their ammo/hulls.
