Crow and a .308 (GOREY)

[cooter]

I was out very early this morning with the .308.

 

After a complete none event of a morning, I was about to leave the shoot, and a crow landed 90 yards away. :look:

 

I was surprised at what the 125grn Sierra did at that range. :blink:

 

The crow was probably less impressed, as it was spread over six metres of field.

[bignoel]

where's the crow then

[Crouch valley]

one less crow I bet it didnt feel a thing

[mfletch]

A little overkill but it got the job done.

[Simon123]

well done mate :lol:

[Catweazle]

Well, you won't be having that stuffed.

[Davy Holt]

I think it may be dead nice one

[wabbitbosher]

Well, you won't be having that stuffed.

 

Your a tad wrong

I'd say its Well "Stuffed"

 

Wb

haha i suppose in comparison the crow and a 308 and ours would be a 50 cal shooting us you wouldn't feel a thing

[hobbit]

oven ready!

A 125 grain slug weighs 8.09987 gramms

 

A crow weighs 510 gramms (SO IT SAYS HERE http://blx1.bto.org/birdfacts/results/bob15671.htm)

 

 

So the bullet is 1.588% of the weight of the crow.

 

So a 15 stone man weighs 95.2543 kg

So 1.588% of 95.2543 is 1.51 kg

So you would need a bulet with a weight of 23302.828 grains/1.51kg to mimic the damage (roughly)

 

Max 50 caliber bullet weight 800 grains

 

a 20 mm cannon has a 100 gram projectile

 

The nearest ammunition would be a high explosive 51mm mortar, very nice but a ting bit bigger than a 50 cal

Nice that you have done all that maths - but size/mass of the projectile has precious little to do with damage.

All I was trying to say a 50 cal ould no way do that to a human, i think it would just put a hole through you.

time for bed i think professor

[jcf1]

I dunno - it is very dependent on whether it hits soft tissue/blood or bone and in what sequence. As well as the nature of the head. Although of course a bigger cal carries more energy - I've shot a pigeon with .308 and it zipped right through. If you were so inclined there are rather nasty images of some .50 injuries that are almost as spectacular as that crow about.

Darn expensive way to get rid of a crow !! But a good shot at 90 yards !!

[jigga]

that'l sting in the mornin !

[scouser]

you can never have too much gun, one less crow to worry about

[islandmartin]

Always good to see another blackie hit the deck and boy has that one hit the deck!

Think again. The venerable .50 does a wee bit more than 'just' put a hole through you.

[allydog]

next time try a hand grenade see what happens nice shootn
