    Mine is 18in long. And DPT got the supressor to within 1mm of the foreend.

    Nice shooting Rossi, impressive damage at subsonic velocities! Must get around to buying some trailboss and running some in mine.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    just a bit gory . . . i wouldnt put it on Facebook

    that old saying a picture is better than a thousand words comes to mind . . it is a graphic demonstration of what a Big Flatpoint can do even when its traveled some distance and lost some of what little speed it started with.
    its not some super slippery AMax, more a flying brick, so some people won't be beleivers unless you show them the pics . . . . & even then some wont get it.
    if i have time i will try for to put the bullet thru a leg bone . . . its not a must but it sure helps if you can to do maximum damage.

    a bit off topic . . . that 50 S&W contender i mentioned earlier thats on TM has certainly got my interest, some seriously BIG bullets / designs / molds out there that may work in it.

    Took the 45/70 to work today to check some new loads.
    Got a much earlier test than expected when 3 of these guys came wandering down the road I was checking for slip and water damage.

    After being inspired by @rossi.45 and this thread I have got the big and slow bug.
    Got a mold from CBE in Australia and cast up these 405 grain bullets after doing quite a bit of reading and research;

    Loaded up a batch with 13 grains of Trailboss and got them going 990fps.
    Went for a walk today and got a young fallow for the freezer, was only a 45 yard shot but dropped instantly.
