[QUOTE="MachV, post: 309190, member: 93"] You just cant miss them fast enough!!! @ that range its a numbers game, not velosity or energy but just plain number of shots till an unlucky dog catches a slug. A dog is just plain smaller than a gun and shooter can throw a group. Big rounds with a lot of powder capacity heat up fast and will limit the # of shots per wind condition. My first plan for a long range dog was a 50BMG, not a bad plan as I put the fear of god into every town and came close with most shots. The problem is the blast from this cannon had every dog running for a hole and I only had 5 shots before the barrel was too hot to continue. The guys I was shooting with had Bruce Artis type guns (big heat absorbing barrel blocks) shooting heavy slow bullets out of WSMs and WMs. They could get off 40 rounds per sitting and the blast didnt bother the dogs way out there like the BMG did. Good luck with your attempt, sure is fun trying and certainly doable but no walk in the park. [/QUOTE]
