    Thanks for sharing, seen his stuff before. Just wish he'd teach that kid how to sharpen a hatchet.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    This one has popped up on several sites I frequent in the past couple of days. Really enjoy his Youtubes.

    3F Goex is what we use in our 73's. You will be hard pressed to find a better smokeless load.
    We use a 220 grain FPPB Saeco 433

    Chris, I cant tell you how much I enjoyed watching this video....thank you so much!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    I almost passed when I noticed it is 23 minutes long, glad I didn't.
    Neat looking country.

    I SO envy that fellow for his bullet mold/reloading tool! I wish I had one for every caliber I own!

    I can identify with this one very well. I also hunt deer with an 1873 Uberti Winchester clone, but mine is .45 colt. Tonight's dinner is venison sloppy joes. Just wish my son and grandsons were here to enjoy them with us.

    Been watching this fellow now and then on Utube he posting for years. As I recall he started with a patch & ball pedersoli and continually advanced his weaponry. I know for sure he lives in germany and films there too. Nothing drastic just easy watching videos. Thanks for the memory's Chris T.

    His videos have always been great hunting or shooting entertainment!
    A search using "capandball" on youtube will bring his material up
