I wore my normal ball cap but took to leaving it in the truck when I'd remember otherwise I'd be picking it out of the wait a bit trees 3 or 4 times before we made it back.

H. Burgsmuller made somewhere between 1876-1883. I cast the chamber, but I haven't been able to find out exactly what the name of the cartridge is here or on the double rifle society Facebook group. It shoots best with a .446" diameter bullet, and I make the cases by cutting down 444 marlin...

Mine may be this one. It's definitely the most amusing. It was taken in the brief period of time where the only truck I had was a 1970 I didn't trust to make the 150 mile drive to where i was hunting. People passing me on the highway were taking pictures and giving me thumbs up.

That's basically what I did with my .50 cal pedersoli kodiak express. It works the best with about 80 grains of ffg. I have a cva express and the barrels on it were so poorly regulated that they wouldn't hit within 5" of eachother at 25 yards with any load. The elevation is way off between the...

Handloads chronographed at 2900

20th century Damascus barreled US made Baker Gun Co 12 gauge I actually found a 1929 Oklahoma hunting license screwed in behind the butt plate of this one and put it back in its place behind the butt plate after looking it over. 19th century Belgian made percussion Francois Thonon 16 gauge.

I've done my best to stop looking at gunbroker and look at nice cars online instead because I can impulse buy a $1500 gun but not a $100,000 car. I haven't bought a gun in about 4 months which is a very long time for me. I got into a habit of getting a couple a month for a while and only got out...

Didn't realize I missed saying that. It was a cape buffalo

350 grain Barnes TTSX out of a 416 weatherby mag. The first bullet picture was through the shoulder and the other two pictures are the bullet shot through his hip into his stomach as he was running off. I would say that for hitting hard bone the 416 weatherby has too much velocity for the ideal...

That is great information thank you

I think the rarity of those makes them cooler than my 38. I'm curious if your trigger is as heavy as mine is or if mine has some internal problem exacerbating the heavy trigger pull. It's not an easy pistol to shoot with anything approaching accuracy. These are my single and double action pull...

There's nearly always taxidermy on wildlifebuyer.com, but it tends to all be in Texas. It's a good reputable site. I've bought some rams on it. There currently aren't any regular wild hogs at the moment, but they have a mount of a leopard attacking a bushpig. That's pretty close.

It's obviously a dark and somber documentary, and it does a good job showcasing the decline of post colonial Africa at the time as well as providing a reference for the current decline, but it's still always hard for me to not chuckle at the "Wait, these aren't whites, they're Italians" line

For rifles, probably my Standard Arms Model G. I got one in 25 remington and liked it so much I got another in 35 remington. That's the 35 with the deer and the 25 with the hog. It is unique in that it is a gas operated semi auto designed consciously to be able to run as a normal pump action in...

I guess making the video a gif didn't work either.
