"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

I do, but not much.
160 grain bullet patched from .358 to .368 and loaded in a 9.3x57R-360 (AKA 360 Black powder express 2.25")
I shoot them in this 1897 vintage JP Sauer and Sohn stalking rifle.

Thanks for the pics. I am not doing smokeless Paper Patching until spring.
My winter Bench Time is heavily committed. I am focusing on de-rimming the many thousands of 22LR's I have picked up at the range the last few years; Swaging them and reloading the .223's I have picked up at the range over the years. I am then moving on to Powder Coating the .38's, 40's, and .45's I have on the shelf from a couple years ago; then reloading the same Brass. I then move to cutting tube to make .30 jackets from the 400 feet of 5/16 copper tubing I bought over the last year, casting cores, and swaging .308's for my .308's, 30-06's, and 300 WINMAG (Promised some friends cast and swage .223's and .308's for Christmas/New Years that I have to work on before a Late New Years Party on the 2nd). Once I am done swaging .308's and reloading - Then I am going to get back into the smokeless Paper Patching.
Maybe if there are other Contest Topics; we can join in as 2021 rolls around.

No zombies, nice looking Rifle, set trigger or 2barrels? Happy New Year, Tim
Thanks!
It's a neat rifle indeed. It's a single barrel with set triggers. JP Sauer and some other German companies made this basic pattern from about 1895-WWI or so. This is a plainer model, but it shoots well, and my load corresponds to the sight blades for 80 and 150 meters.
