That foto reminds me that I saw, at close range what I assumed to be a mutant cervid about four seasons ago. When I described it to a state biologist and said where I'd seen it he decided it might be a whitetail - eld's hybrid due to its length and the shape and angle of the antlers. Rock Quarry Mou...

"30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough for varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres"

I've never been what you'd call a real trump fan but I voted for him and I hope to vote for him in just a little while.

I shot a deer with my Rogers & Spencer loaded with a round ball. Big doe, range was maybe 15 yards. Took both lungs and a piece of the heart. She went less then 30 paces. Ball was smashed into a flat disc under the offside hide. Killed all manner of pests with round balls and well up to raccoon siz...

Just a thought: Weren't the round ball loads in a rifled barrel proven to be accurate to several hundred yards at official competitions? I realize that those were some of the best, and not the typical barrels in use. Round balls of lead were probably not as bad as many in the tactical community cur...

Ray, I have a different caliber of round ball ammo. 69 caliber balls I load into 12ga shells, replacing the bird shot in the cup and closing the hull over the rb. shoots great. approx same weight as the shot it replaces. not on subject of revolver calibers, but on topic of round ball loads ! :lol: ...

Thanks rev. jim for the reminisces. Never tire of reading those desert adventures.

Good question, Ray. Virtually all my round ball experience has been with paper targets; the deer just weren't playing ball. I hear you. Spent much of my youth with a smokepole up in a tree disguised as a kudzu vine. The critters did not seem to respect my expenses and efforts. When I finally went t...

Modern ballistic science can produce bullets capable of all sorts of advantages over the simple round ball BUT if a round ball has killed you you are not going to be anymore dead if shot with the latest tactical bullet. Just use enough gun and hit what you're aiming at is still good advice. I have ...

Most muzzleloaders know of joe and suzi williams of springfield oregon.

It has been written over and over about the efficacy of the ubiquitous round ball against both man and beast in days of old. Thinking particularly of Col. Colt's era and his sixguns(and five). Even the, puny by later standards, patersons and pocket models served well. The soon to follow horse and th...

Almost any board, appearance wise is better to me than those bright, white ones with the crass, vulgar tabloid click-bait ads at the bottom of the page.

If you like to order your own and pay a modest transfer fee, all of the usual suspects are out of stock and have been for quite a while. There are a few 10-22 based chargers out there though.

The extremely heavy ak based chetnik ones that use glock magazines are in stock in the $700s.

At some point I must have gotten some zamak wheelweights into my mostly range scrap mix. Way too hard.

The much maligned reputation of weakness of the "brassie" is less of a problem in the solid-framed replicas like yours.

I dug out from deep storage a high standard leech & rigdon circa 1974 that is somewhat 1851ish. Although I did not actually weigh it, it seems quite a bit heavier than and fatter gripped than more recent pietta and uberti 1851s.
