Looks like some crazy good expansion on those boolits, slightly overly expanded for what I would like to get, but way better than I am apparently getting.
Will definitely keep that BNH you are...

I am definitely going to give that a go as well!

I usually keep the rifle in its 110 yard setteng as this gives the best “point-blank” range For what I do to about 125yards, then I dail in For further distances, get Mostly fairly reliable 2”...

That was always my way of thinking too, but experience is a bitch!

I learned it is better to just or just not make it through an animal with a well expanded projectile causing maximum internal...

Hunting with a DP Sharps in .45-70 turned out a lot more challenging than I thought... My respect for the oldtimers that hunted with these rifles at longrange grow every time I hunt with it.
Used a...

Hallo guys.

I am entertaining the thought of buying one of these Biakal mp-221 .45-70 rifles for hunting and fun, and for the heck of just having a sxs double, but I’ve never seen one, what do you...

I have no idea what the game tastes like that you guys hunt, so unfortunately I can not make any kind of comparison.
Compared to al our other game species they are avarage, makes...

Could I ask you to please explain to a naive novice, how intarnalbalistics and the components used to launch a projectile aswell as the difference in launch pads influence wound balistics and blood...

First successful day with my Pedersolli Billy Dixon Sharps in .45-70 today, took the first Impala ram just past 7 o’clock this morning @ 130yds with a shoulder shot, it ran 45 yards crawled in to a...

That’s a nice gesture.
While you are at measuring, would you mind weighing one of them in COWW alloy?

You Lucky FISH to have that barrel laying around!

Don’t waste that barrel on a smooth bore cannon! Rather build a 1/2 scale 10pdr Parrot rifle or better still an 1/2 scale 3” Ordnance Rifle with...

In my brief investigation on what caliber to build the gun, I found that a 1” is the largest caliber you can shoot fairly cheap if you buy steel balls at a ballbearing supplier, my lead stash is just...

That was a consern in the beginning, but for some strange reason if you are lucky enough to get a fired projectile, you usualy get it with in just a couple of feet from the target. I recon about 200...

I tried the LabRadar, but there is just to much stuff flying around that it fails to pickup the bullet.

For two weeks I pretty much did nothing else....
