.458 Vs a Human

Always like Garand Thumbs videos. This one was pretty cool if you ever wondered what a 458 would do to a human body.

Thought I should add a comment.
That slow-mo on the gel block was cool!

Interesting video. Looks like they used a flat nose solid, wonder what a soft point would do if it had time to open up. Mind you that solid did the job.

I was thinking a full power load with a 300gr. Nosler Partition or even a 300gr. Sierra or Hornady HP.
The normal 350gr. Hornady in RN or FN would also have been spectacular.
The Hornady 300gr. HP surprised me from my bro's .45 3 1/4 Sharps. We drove it to 2,200fps with 62gr. Re#7. Cloverleafs at 100 meters off the bags with tang aperture and front post.
The cobber also did that with 100gr. 2F GOEX, an inch of 1/10" cards and a 500gr. Hornady bullet = Cloverleafs - no wiping.

Not sure I agree with videos like this being posted on youtube,
in a climate where such material plays into the hands of those who oppose firearm ownership and the shooting sports, but....

in the words of Daryl....
