How are you celebrating 405 day?

I will open the anti rust storage bag and inspect my 1895 for cleanliness.

A bit pre-mature, as I took him on Wednesday, but I'm still celebrating!



Feral South African Zebu Bull roaming the Texas Hill Country





H. Burgsmuller & Sohn Double Rifle, 405 Win.





Taken @ +/- 30 paces.





Luv it when a plan comes together


ya!

Are they good eatn'?

Haha, sure wish my neighbors cattle would wander onto my property AGAIN!

Don't know yet.

Will reply after I cook up some backstrap!

ya!

Curiously, what bullet/speed and did the bullet exit?

According to Hornady, MV is 2,200 FPS. I have not yet chrono'd the loads.

Shot him at 30 paces (25 yds)

Shot him 6 times before he succumbed.

None of the bullets exited.

ya!

I still enjoy the father of the 405, the original 40: the 40-72…

Looks like at least 1 got thru to his lungs, the others hit shoulder and leg bones?

NICE(Shrapnel)

Damn, have to wonder how many of those 20ga slugs that you were considering he would have soaked up if it took 6 .405s...
