"I know that .44 pistoleros regularly take elk but, I would like to hear of some real life events while utilizing cast...

Nice rifle, Sambar375WCF.

I shoot Lyman's 375449, 270 grain boolit with gas check, sized and lubed. The velocity is 2,100 fps. There is no question, it beats the .44 mag. I shoot it in my .375...

I have killed several elk with the .44 Special, Keith 250 grain boolit, Lyman's 429421, at 1,200 fps all shot in my 1950 Target or .44 mags either Ruger or Smith and Wesson. All were killed with...

The lead and gun banners need to get tougher condors and rats. But they have an agenda, ban hunting, lead, guns, boolits and the right to keep and bear arms.

We don't use mercurochrome up here in our mountains, Ole Joe Clarke, but some of the boys have been moonshinin' lead antitoxin up in the hollers.

They make the antitoxin into a paste and smear a...

I see that this site is made up of several lead banners bunches. And where better to infiltrate than in a cast boolit bunch.

The California Condor's problem is that it is in California.

The topic of this thread, 'non-toxic deer hunting bullets', made me want to read it to see where it led and then came the reference to...

Japan, like Australia and most other countries are up s'creek. Americans have more than 300,000,000 firearms; lead, powder, primers, brass, reloading tools and liberty. Liberty to assure that anybody...

I like to engrave the antelope. I have made many knives using the antelope as the theme.

The Wyoming winds don't like flat landers. Besides, those cowboys have one leg shorter than the other so's they can traverse the steep mountainsides. What do they do when they want to go back the way...

When I was a lad I vowed to never be short of .22s so I bought many and stacked 'em when I was young. In 1946 .22 shorts were ten cents the box of 50, but mowing yards only paid two bits, but it was...

I like your hollow grind on a fine looking knife.

A friend of mine from your country sent me a box of beautiful lumber for scales including Budgeroo and Purple Gidgee. We have some fine wood, but...

I will show several bolsters with different views. I use 440 C stainless steel, almost always. I rivet the bolsters using 3/32 inch diameter 303 stainless steel round rod. Riveting makes a very...

20 grains 2400 in my 30-06 rifles, 03A3 and M1 Garand. One minute groups. Velocity 1,750 fps. This load does not cycle the bolt in the M1 Garand. My brothers and I have killed many deer and antelope...

I have been shooting the 311413 boolit with 43 grains 4831 for many years in my NM M1. Groups average 2 inches at 100 yards. I have never had a feeding problem, leading, or gas cylinder leading...

This photo shows early progress of my hydraulic press. The motor and tank still needed installing and further welding was needed. It weighs about 800 pounds including motor and tank. I slowly tack...

Here is a hollow grind using a 10 inch contact wheel on a stainless steel blade where the hollow grind measures 9/16 inch in height....

How does one go about hollow grinding a blade?

First, the blade should be annealed. To anneal high carbon steel I take the billet to 1,600 degrees in my temperature controlled electric furnace,...

The scales are of pronghorn antelope.

I shot this antelope at a range of 200 yards using Lyman's gas check cast boolit, 311413 at 1,900 fps in my 03-A3. This load also functions very well in my...

Please see the step-down coupling that forms the venturi chamber for the 3/8 nominal pipe that has the #46 bit (.046 inch) hole for the propane.

seaboltm, I made my propane forge using a piece of steel pipe 24 inches long x 10 inches in dia. x 1/8 inch thick. I made a manifold with 3 burners, all venturi. I do not use a blower. The photos...

I make my Damascus using 1095 and 15n20 in alternating layers. I use a hydraulic press and propane forge that I built. Sometimes I engrave the blade and I usually engrave the bolsters.

I like to hunt antelope and I often use them as a motif for my knife engravings. My favorite boolits are 311291 and 311413, both at 1,900 fps in my 30-06 rifles. At 1,900 fps these loads cycle the...

badbobgerman, like everybody on this site I like to shoot and have fired many thousands of rounds and once in a while I hit what I aim at. I'll post engravings I have done of some of my favorite...
