I got a call yesterday from my brother in law. He wanted to talk to me about getting his will done and making me the executor. He said his lung problems were getting worse and he may have cancer. He lives in Alabama. He has an rv that an old friend of his lets him live on their property.
His friend called me earlier today and said he had to take him to the ER and he was in the hospital with tubes down his throat. He called me again later and said they had moved him to a pulmonary unit in Huntsville which is 100 miles from his town. The hospital is supposed to call me today.
I may be spending a lot of time traveling from here to Alabama in 2025. I’m getting a real feeling of deja vu.

There is no part 1. The microphone died just before we started the review and we didn’t know. The part 1 video has no audio so I scrapped it. Sorry for any confusion!

Let me start by saying: I’m skeptical. The idea of a bullet from a rifle plowing through brush and being accurate and lethal on the other side…?
So, what about that? Dad, and sundry outdoors magazine writers I read as a kid, always talked about various rifle cartridges that were better at brush busting. It seems, generically, that flat nosed, heavy, slower bullets were considered better at this. (Of course, by the same lore, smaller, lighter bullets will fling off into the never never if even the smallest blade of grass or twig dares touch them mid flight…) 45-70 Govt., .44 mag, .30-30, etc.
So is it true? Will some cartridges shoot through brush better than others? Has this been tested, or is it just hunter’s musings? …and, where would 450 Bushmaster figure into this?
