I ordered 250 158 gr Nosler HPs in 357 for some special bullets I'm going to reload.
I'm going to drill a 1/4" hole in each bullet short of the copper end. I'm going to take some 1/4" oak dowel, drill it out in the center to fit silver solder. I'll insert the silver solder into the shortened oak dowel, insert it into the drilled out Nosler HP. Then load them fairly hot. That should take care of zombies, vampires, and werewolves. Ain't that a great idea? 
I don't think I'll have to put garlic or holy water on the bullets for them to be effective even though one of you will probably suggest it.

I never understood just why a person couldn't just 'pop' a zombie in the head with something really destructive...like say...a .22-250 50gr hollowpoint, and blow it's head clean apart.
Why wouldn't that work with any of the undead creatures...Vampires, were-wolves, zombies, etc? Seriously...no head...no teeth...no brains...no eyeballs...no nose...danger pretty much nullified huh? The carcass might flop around some, but should be easy enough to avoid even if the rest of the thing gets up and starts walking around. Works great on coyotes.

well since we're speaking of fairtale creatures, one could use a 22-250, but it'd be better suited from a stationary postion al-la the latest DOD where they are on the rooftop of the mall and andy's shooting across the square, figure a bolt rifle would be just fine in that type situation, much less so when the zombies are chasing them, of course armalite made up some AR10 uppers in 22250, but I hear it suffered mag issues due to the case having a lot of taper, of course that can be corrected by having the barrel rechamberd to the 22-250AI. but why go through all the trouble of doing that when you can just go with the 308win, unless of course you got a lot of 22250 ammo, besides I'm pretty sure a 10/22 or for that matter a sling shot shooting marbles would work on about all fairytale creatures just as well as say a 460 weatherby, or one of the various nitro express calibers would  .

I've already got a special load for a bigfoot.

Two things: 1) Werewolves are not undead. 2) Werewolves have crazy high regeneration rates. The silver actually suppresses their ability to regenerate, although it's not a guaranteed kill. A hit in the foot with a silver bullet won't kill a werewolf any better than a hit to the chest with a standard bullet will. If you can successfully behead a werewolf, it should kill them, but you want to do a thorough job. Best to shoot them in the vitals with a silver bullet and be done with it. Third thing: Werewolves still have claws. If you remove their teeth and don't kill, they can still maul you to death. Just because they can't see and/or smell you doesn't mean they can't flail and get you. Again, hit the vitals with silver just to be safe. Now, if your .22-250 is loaded with silver jacketed or silver core copper jacketed JHPs, then you'll be fine. |

just thought of the winchester "silver tips"
just get you a box of them Dan, and you're set, no need to fab up those noslers Won't work. That ain't silver in the bullet and there is no wood in the bullet. aluminum coating if I remember correctly, but fairytale creatures won't know the difference

With my luck, I probably would.

I'm watching 'Zombie Land' right now! Getting this zombie shit figured out so I'm way ahead of the game when the time comes!! that's what I should have watched the other day instead of paranormal activity, man that show is slow
I'm surprised you haven't asked me to go bigfoot hunting with you. You know you can out run me with my knee being replaced recently. With that being done, you wouldn't have to worry about shooting me in the leg so you could get away. 
Those paranormal shows, like Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Activity, etc, are all slow as hell. They have about as much substance as a canary fart. |

No brains, no motor control. No muscles, no ability to move. Reanimated skeletons are the really tough ones to deal with. They already have no brains and no muscles. Magical reanimation's a bitch, don'cha know? |

bigfoot hunting is like a snipe hunt, even if bigfoot were real, right now if he were to start chasing me, he wouldn't have to run very far, cause I'm not running .Hell, no. You'd probably stand there and watch the critter eat me. if it's bigfoot I'm betting with all the shit you've posted on them, they'd probably fuck you instead of eat you. |
