.35 WOW 9mm Is Huge!!

[PasadenaMike]

The 9mm is a huge chunk of lead . I’ll take a comparison photo soon of all the calibers. Just got some 81 grain JSB domes and 77 grain JSB Hades.

Lol, I have an order from AGS coming and I asked them if they could send 1 .30cal pellet with just so I have one and can see how big it is compared to my .177 and .22. I can imagine a .357 pellet is gonna be much bigger yet! They come 100 in a tin?

lol yeah the humongous pellets come in a tin of 100. I’ll put a photo soon

Here’s .177, .22, .25, .30 and .357

Huge in size, cost and utility… Plus, the same limitations that apply to using a .22 rimfire, it seems counterintuitive. Lower power actually opens up more shooting opportunities.

Yes agreed but it’s soooo bad a$$.

You obviously need one of the Umarex Primals.....

No Umarex for me thank u.

the .30 cal is a beast all its own i can imagine the .35 would be even more so.
something like that would be nice when you are pesting and dont need the stress of being heard.

Yeah agree. It’ll be shot from the L2 9mm

Nice pic. They are big.

Hey Joe yes they are thanks for supplying us all with lead

Thanks for shooting the lead.

 

[PasadenaMike]

Thanks for shooting the lead.

It’s our pleasure

MIKE: Way back in the 1960s when monsters such as the USS New Jersey roamed the the Seven Seas, I was ashore in a mud whole called Vietnam. From 20 miles at sea the BB62 slung her 16 inch projectile over our heads. Ashore, we would feel it as the air was sucked in from around us, a feeling of power and freedom. It would actually be several minutes in passing before we would hear the explosive detonation. This was followed by the earth's shaking as that 16 inch bullet from more than 20 miles away destroyed her target ashore. Our hobby is one of punching holes in paper targets, yet is very much akin to the blast holes in the earth from the USS New Jersey, BB 62. Orv.

I walked past her in 1974 at the Philadelphia Naval ship yard when I was there for a Shipboard Fire Fighting and Damage control school, we all had to go to after the Forestal accident in Viet Nam. It is an amazing ship.

I walked through her at the Bremerton naval ship station many years ago. Truly awe inspiring.

But they lack the knock down power that the 357 has.

True enough, but a .30 will kill a coyote or groundhog just as dead, even a hotter .25. You don't even have to be much more precise than with a .357.

I own a 308 Texan with mild modifications and a stock AEA Challenger 357 big bore. I'm aware they are both big bores. For hunting coyotes, I prefer the 357 over the 308 due to the roughly 40 fpe difference. It may not seem significant, but at a distance, it makes a considerable impact. As a hunter, I aim for the heart or lungs without stressing over precise shot placement. My goal is a quick takedown, which I jokingly refer to as a 'dirt nap.' With the 357 145gr, I can achieve this in 3 shots at 100 yards. I've recorded hitting a metal target at over 200 yards with enough force (around 250 fpe) to still be lethal to a coyote, though I typically restrict my shots to a maximum of 150 yards (approximately 260 fpe).
