Re: Fun with numbers. .44 Henry v. .45 Colt
Where the animal is hit seems to make a big difference. Breaking the leg has been a bit more dramatic to me versus passing through the lungs while only breaking 1 rib bone. Not as much experience as many on here have, so my experience is just that. Mine.

Re: My long-range Pistol Range .. Oracle, AZ in the 1980's
Grandmother's farm in the Oklahoma Panhandle when I was a teenager was sort of that way. No other houses for ten miles to the North and the East. All I had at the time was a Ruger semiauto .22 lr, but I shot at some old stuff at around 200 yards as often as possible. Had a lot of fun.

Puppies are a great way to find out if a human is worth knowing. Depending on how a human treats the puppies, you can find out a lot. Puppies are mischevious and full of life.

Luck seems to favor those who practice and prepare. I am reasonably certain that he had practiced shooting at a distance. Buffalo tend tò move away from humans shooting them, and some shots were probably at a longer distance than would be ideal.

500 yards with a handgun is impressive. 500 yards with a rifle is tougher than most people can truly accomplish, and a handgun has a much shorter sight radius. That handgun must be well made to be capable of such accuracy.

As far as prices, the 28 gauge us more available everywhere I shop, and is cheaper, too. Not sure why. It was about 10 years ago that I saw 28 gauge in the stores for the first time in my life. Used to see 410 all over for about $10 to $15 per box, but now it is $25 or more IF you can even find it.

Teething is sure to see a lot of damage to everything. I had to unplug every electric cord and put them up. An Irish terrier chewed through a 4 gauge set of jumper cables, all the way through, and left them in about 6 pieces. She loves wires.

The old Ruger Standard Model and Mark II were amazingly accurate. If you could see it, they could put a bullet in it. My best target off-hand (no rest) with a Mark II was 10 rounds at 25 yards that I could cover with a .38 Special case I picked up at the range.
