Hello everybody,
I have been following this thread off and on for awhile. Bought a 25-9 about 4 years ago and stumbled on to it then. Just bought a 625-7 and picked it up last week. Very nice! I wanted to see what kind of penetration you would get with Buffalo Bore 255 gr, 1000 fps standard pressure rounds. So, I fired a couple into a tulip log that I had recently cut in my front yard. I guess two ice storms and last summers draught did it in. I decided to just use the Mountain Gun to split up the rest of the trunk I had cut into 16" chunks. OK, it won't actual split 20" thick logs.
I didn't know what to expect, I've read some pretty astounding claims on the penetrating power of 45 colt rounds. Have to say I was a little surprised they didn't go a little deeper. The one that penetrated 3" traveled about 1/2" sideways and the one that went 2 1/2" went about an 1" off to the side.
I don't care for the Hogue grips so I order some Ahrends today. I'm looking forward to working up some loads for the gun.
Chris
