5K Sounds high but if you price buying that much Bison meat it really isn't that far out of line and you get to harvest it. The hunt included 3 days, 2 nights, 3 squares a day, license, and...

The druggist wouldn't sell it to us but there was an older lady and when she was on the register she didn't know what it was and we could get the Saltpeter.

We hunted at High Adventure Ranch in the Missouri Ozarks, some really beautiful country especially with the fall color change.
They didn't have a way to weigh the animals but estimated about 1000lbs...

Both were complete pass through s. The boolit was a 20-1 lead tin at 405gr. The exit hole on my cow was pretty big.

Back in the spring I posted a thread looking for a place to hunt a Bison. I just got back from that hunt and my Godson and I both got a Bison with BPCRs, lead bullet, Black Powder and iron sights....

I noticed right away that the HM seems to be fluffier than commercial so you can get much more compression, easier. To get more in the case I tried filling the case and compressing and then putting...

I have an 8MM Swede that I converted to 40-65 and have taken several deer with it and home made black. I use a vice as well but Tree of Heaven which gives me more velocity than willow. I leave it in...

Cheap at twice the price. Biggest thing I've dealt with was a good size Elk. Although that was easier than the one Bear that I skinned, talk about a greased pig.

I have messed with the 577-450 for several years and that case holds a lot of BP if you fill it up and the Martini is a pretty light rifle. The original load was 85gr of BP with a wool filler. Best...

Even with the original buffalo hunts it wasn't all that bad to kill one. The trick came when you wanted to kill a bunch of them.
I use to guide in NM and they had a herd in the area I worked but...

Thanks for the reply's. Would like to keep the distance within 2 days of KY since we plan on driving and we still have to get the meat back.

Thinking about a Buffalo hunt for meat. Has anyone here done that and have a recommendation for maybe SD or NE? I would like to do it with a Sharps and BP.

This is the 78 that Pedersoli built for Lyman. I never got it to shoot good enough for LR and sold it. The other problem with this gun was it's weight, 9lbs. I normally don't use a Past Pad but it...

I lived in Johannesburg in 82 and 83 when SA was a safe and nice place to live. Even then getting a handgun was a little bit of a hassle the first time. There was no limit on ammo and I shot IPSC and...

As Kenny said that Lyman 330gr Postel is a great 38 bullet at a good price. I had very good luck with it out of a 38-55 and a 14 twist Badger Barrel out to 600yd.

Never tried Red Cedar although I have as much of that as TOH on the farm. TOH gave me better velocities than Willow.

I had both of mine replaced in 13 about 2 months apart. I was deer hunting 3 weeks after the 1st knee replacement (carefully). The big thing is do the PT religiously. I will say that I thought mine...

TOH should be in GA. I have been using it to make BP for several years. It has given me better velocity that Willow and much easier to find. As someone pointed out it is an invasive species and I...

I have a 40-50 SS and you might check what Don said. I had to make my own brass from 30-40 Krag brass. The wall thickness had to be reamed or the loaded rounds were hard to chamber and impossible...

My Godson picked up one of these a couple years back. He has hunted with it several times and shot it some but not a lot. Last weekend while loading the 209 primer the gun went off when he closed the...

The REAL shot the best of anything in my Enfield 2 band musket with the stock powder load of 60gr.

I got my screens from McMaster Carr, they have about any combination you could ask for. I found that my 3F shot better than any other size so anything else just gets reground or re-pressed. The fines...
