Friend of mine is concerned Nephilim's may make a comeback and wants to be prepared? So I'll call him J.Fred, He calls yesterday and has bought some 167 grain copper projectiles at about a buck apiece. J.Fred wants to come by and load up some 30.06 and .308....Just in case, So I'm like yeah man I just need to see if any load data is out there on the web. J.Fred then tells me once you get a Nephilim down you have to cut its head off? I'm like the copper projectiles won't do it? J.Fred is like no, You really have to cut its head off. Me, Okay,let me ask around about the 167 copper projectiles and find some load data. So on my quest to help out the old boy anyone out there can point me in the right direction for ''Copper Loads '' I had posted this on another forum, Just wondering what suggestions The Monkey members may have? Seems he thinks Giants will return soon? Thanks ahead of time.
Copper, As in Pure Copper, or Bronze? Ether way, you want to verify bullet weight, and then start just above minimum for that weight! You CAN push them, but your rifle will tell you where the sweet spot really is! I load a metric ton of Bronze solids for 6.5mm, 7mm mag, .30 cal and .338, and find they really do fly strait and are very precise if I do my part!
I would recommend a 40x42mm HE dual purpose, or something like a civil war era six pound gun. Hopefully the stories are fish tails, you know where the fish gets bigger every time the story is told.
Depending on the size of the giant you may need a 338 Lapua or even 50 BMG. I checked with the Commander in Chief and he said you would need F15's and nukes to go up against a diabolical presence that was in opposition to God. .
Were not the Genetic Codes associated with these Nephilim dudes wiped out in Noah’s Flood? Not likely that they will be returning, from Undiscovered Skeletal DNA IF ANY WERE EVER FOUND…
Hmm...I never heard of them and had to google them. Sounds like a people that got enough eat back then as most folks were puny, underfed. Geez, of all the damn things happening in the world, even in our own country, and this guy wants to worry about the 'return of giants'? Sounds like a worrier to me...but get a .50 BMG and worry solved!
Reality is a very strange place, and often a dangerous one. That's why so many people avoid Reality as much as they possibly can. I'm not real up on the Nephilim, but my understanding is that they are seriously difficult to put down with small arms fire. .223 to the torso doesn't slow them down at all. It just makes them grumpy. That's when they tend to pick people up and rip big pieces off. They still eat people, BTW. Raw. If you ever find yourself unloading on one, you'll need face hits. Remember that: Lots of face hits. Center of mass just doesn't cut it. You'll also need the largest caliber you can handle, a whole bunch of ammo, and lots of friends that can shoot even faster than you. And coffee. Lots of hot, black, coffee--super-strong and chock full of caffeine. If you can still blink, you probably need more coffee. They can move really fast. Oh, yeah.
This is exactly why we make sure my MIL never misses a meal and my exact argument to Mrs 3M as to exactly why I think a 50 BMG is necessary.
I knew a guy years ago that worked in a machine shop and made bullets from steel bar-stock on a lathe. He showed me some .308 and .50 BMG bullets that he made...said that they were just a tad small so that he could coat them with teflon-loaded paint.
My recommendation for dealing with Nephilim is a hot load of reason and logic, with a good wadding of skepticism. The Nephilim are just another cast of mythical biblical characters who are as susceptible to buckshot as the Easter Bunny and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. Biblical 'Just So' stories are entertaining no doubt, but speculating on what load would be best for taking down those fantasy creatures is just a hint that not everything in the 'good' book need be believed in all seriousness. I'm with Sporting Life: N.B. : For those who would waste their time hunting Nephilim, try a real challenge and go Snark hunting!
Snarks must be Australian, in the US it’s Snipe, except there really are Snipe. Ah well, this must all go with dehydrated water.
