  • If you have ever come across a Punkin Chunkin competition, you have seen that people come up with all sorts of crazy ways to destroy pumpkins once they've served their decorative purpose for Halloween. Our preferred method is to pump them full of lead.

    Really nice video. The .44 and .45-70 are very similar. I just acquired one of the new side-gate Big Boys in .38/.357 magnum and finished in CCH. At 100-yards, it packs a very similar punch. I chose it because of the availability/relatively acceptable pricing of the ammo. Given the 20" barrel with 1:16 twist, the .38+p load is not very far from the .357 magnum, depending of course on the loads. End of day, they're all Henry products. The smooth action, the octagonal barrel, the furniture all say American Made! Really find them outstanding. Thank you to Henry for staying American made.

    That's what I love about larger calibers, when you hit 🎯 something it knows it's been hit. Great video I enjoyed it.
    PS; my choice 45-70 that's nice!!!

    Hey Cody,
    Great video! You inspired me to purchase the Henry Big Boy Steel side gate carbine in 44 magnum. Legal to use in my area for deer hunting. It's light, easy to handle and powerful. Keep up the videos Brother! Tell Jeremy, Dan says hello. Best of luck to you guys.

    Sometimes it's just about fun. I love my Henry's, but my favorite one's are the cch rifle's. I even like my revolver's that way! Have a great day my 2A brother's and sister's!

      Color Case Hardening is one of our favorites as well. Fits so well with a lever action.

    Great comparison between the 44 mag and 45-70. I do not have any pumpkins, but I will try to see what my 44 mag and 45-70 will do to 2 liter bottles filled with water and capped.

    Great Video and I have owned both Calibers.Love that 45/70 here in my Virginia mountains its great on Deer and Bear.But that being said I bought the Henry Big Boy Case Hardened in 44 magnum with the 20 inch Barrel.Am also shooting the Federal Hammerdown ammo that you shot the Pumpkins with and it really did a great Job on those.Love the Videos you all make they are fun and also informative.Good luck Hunting this Season.

    I was out all day today with my Henry .410 lever action, fillin my bag with squirrels. Life is good. By the way, nice job on those pumpkins. The deer and squirrels will enjoy them. Be well, and God bless.

      My Aunt Eve use to cook up squirrels into a stew my Uncle Bob would bag, it was like like eating rat meat! Talk about gamey, it's been close to 55 years since that experience & the thought of eating squirrel stew I still find revolting to this day, LOL!

  • @alannorr
    @alannorr 3 роки тому +12

    Great video. When shooting pumpkins, one needs to make a small hole in the top and fill it with water. Waaaay more entertaining, but hard to preserve entrance and exit holes. They all look the same.

  • @gscop1683
    @gscop1683 3 роки тому

    Love ya Cody...and Your precious Family!....I have both calibers in Henry.....Next year a suggestion for the larger pumpkins....core out the top stem and fill them with water tinted with simple food coloring before you shoot them. Dried out pumpkins dont explode as spectacularly !

    My next gun will be the 44 magnum lever gun. I have a Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum that i have used in competition at distances of 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards.

  • @jc.938
    @jc.938 3 роки тому +3

    Great video! Can you please tell me can the 44 magnum bullet be used in both the Henry and a handgun? Another question is can you tell me what is the hunting distance for the 45+70 bullet?

    • @scottyV1000
      @scottyV1000 3 роки тому

      The 44 mag can be used in several revolvers such as a S&W629 or Colt Anaconda if you can find them. They will have quite a bit of recoil at the bullet weight used in the video though.

  • @richardcolligon4277
    @richardcolligon4277 3 роки тому +3

    I do have a question for you. Could you contact Federal and ask them if on UA-cam they could shoot the Hammer Down out of a revolver with a ballistic's test for the 357 and 44 magnum. The 327 would be awesome. They say they can be shot out of a revolver. Thanks

    And seeing that it will blow the 'Great Pumpkin's' Head clean Off...

    Very little difference in bullet weight or velocity 44 magnum is 1715 FPS The 4570 IS 1880 FPS ? The 44 magnum is 270 grain while the 4570 is 300 not much difference.

    you keep cutting the the pumpkin after its already been shot. Show it for .2s before the bullet hits it. not .2 after.

    This isn't punkin' chunkin'. It's literally just shooting pumpkins.
    Don't get me wrong, I love shooting pumpkins, watermelons, any of that fun stuff.
    But don't call this what it isn't. The definition of punkin chunkin "is the sport of hurling or 'chucking' a pumpkin solely by mechanical means for distance."
    I see absolutely none of that in this video. Instead, this is just click bait. Be better than this.
