Heed this synchronicity from fiction:
Silver bullets from folklore and the movies? I think its worth a try, particularly if you plate them. It won’t affect the ballistics. I’m not hunting cryptids. I’m living and working on forested property a few miles from one of encounters detailed in an interview on this site. I carry a sidearm for several forms of four legged predators.
Fiction is full of Easter Eggs that can guide us or laugh at us in hindsight. Will Trump be our last President? I don’t know but a novel from more than a hundred years ago paints a picture eerily similar to our own political reality.
As far as chaos theory and magic, it comes straight out of fiction, even the chaos symbol, the eight-pointed star is from a science fiction novel. It’s a deep rabbit hole but it is a valid form of occult science. It works for many people including magicians in Hollywood who shape our cultural reality daily.
Fiction can predict and perhaps shape our conventional reality. That’s one tenant of chaos magic. I’ll leave the rest of that topic up to your own occult research.
I wanted to offer a warning on what I posted above. I would not try to modify pre-assembled ammunition with plating or solder. Silver solder could cook off a round and cause a little explosion, maybe enough shrapnel to blind or maim someone. It’s like a firecracker, or perhaps an M80 going off in the case of a large round. You don’t want your hands or eyes anywhere near an ammo cookoff.
I don’t know how the current in an electroplater would affect a primer in an assembled cartridge, but modern U.S. tank rounds are fired with an electronic firing pin that uses low voltage to ignite the round. I don’t know if the Army exaggerated the danger to make us more cautious when handling 120mm rounds which relatively fragile, but we were told that 5 volts to the primer could ignite a cookoff. How many volts does it take to cook off small arms ammo? I don’t know. I’d leave any experimentation with plating or silver solder to the realm of reloading.
There’s not a single bit of Ag in the Winchester silver tips posted above.
I would use a cheap silver electroplating brush available on Amazon and “paint” both solid copper penetrating ammo and the copper jacket of hollow point ammo. The silver plate would not adversely affect ballistics and performance of the round.
In a magazine, I’d stack the plated solid copper ammo with the plated hollow points. In at least one account on this website a hunter believes he shot through a dogman with .30-06, however the shot didn’t seem to have an immediate effect on the “animal.” With a stack of penetrators and hollow points you’d have a better chance of to make a silver deposit in its body cavity.
There are affordable silver-plating brush kits available on Amazon.
LOAD SABOT LoL ;)- I’m not sure if putting a bigger hole in the “animal” is going to solve the problem. Were you on tanks or did you read about them in Popular Mechanics?
This problem is both metaphysical and mundane. If you want to keep walking in the woods with the same loads that others have tried and failed to decisively engage the dogman with, by all means do so but I’m willing to look beyond what I learned at Fort Knox to solve this problem.
As far as synchroneities are concerned I think its episode 333 where Homer Simpson shoots wolfman with a silver plated 45-70 and destroys his target. Cease Fire 😉
