Bergerboy has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that launching a 255 grain projectile out of the venerable 38-55 at a muzzle velocity of 2100 fps is nothing less than fatal. Thus a good post and warning to others who may be tempted to try this is not recommended. And further more, if this ballistic feat is superbly questionable and this thread is about a 500 yard target challenge, then one has no other avenue than to also question the resulting target.
