I recently discovered that a 357 grain .45 Colt and a 7.35 mm 128 grain would go completely through a yellow pine 4 x 4 and go a bullets length into the next one. Today, I discovered that a .308 will go completely through 2 4 x 4's and easily dispatch a rattlesnake. My son skinned the snake and is going to finish the skin and eat the meat. We decided the 4 x 4's might be a little tough to eat.
