elephant

[sbeIIfan]

Im not going elephant hunting but could u shoot an elephant with a shot gun and kill one sucessfully? Would you use buckshot or slugs? Also what shell size would be the best. As you can tell I am bored to death and have one randome question!

Hmmm My Guess would be a Semi Auto 10 Gauge with a Fully Rifled Barrel and A High Velocity 3 in. or 3 1/2 Saboted Slug within 75 yards... yea i wouldnt see why not... Or a 12 Gauge with a fully rifled barrel and a high velocity... and knock down power 3 inch saboted slug within maybe 50 or 25 yards... yea... But good luck getting that close to one of them things...

You could cram the barrel full of dynomite and run some det cord to it and cover the whole thing with hay, then when the elephant came over to ... oh, you wrote shoot an elephant with a shotgun, I thought you wrote kill an elephant with a shotgun....nevermind.

 

oh fooy, I did not mean to upset anyone. My apologies.

Hey if your bored go play some mailbox baseball or shoot out the street lights with a sling shot or maybe stuff some bananas in your neighbor’s tail pipes. You know any thing to keep yourself out of trouble.

1900-2000fps Remington Copper Solids, or Ultra Coreloks ... or Winchester Partition Golds. Make the sign of the Cross ... empty the gun ... run. Get behind the guy with the .470 Nitro Express double rifle; pray that he can shoot straight.

You would probably Piss Off the elephant more than hurting it. The chances are, if you have an Elephant charging you, you will probably drop a load in your pants before you unload with just a shotgun. There is a reason they require minimum .375H&H/9.3x74R for Dangerous Game.

 

You take your shotgun, I'll have my .470Nitro Express with me!
