Sir Samuel Baker wrote an entire book about hunting in Ceylon in the 1840s, which included running amongst herds of elephant and shooting them from powder burn range. That was back when elephants were not really hunted, had no fear of humans, and were abundant. Some of his descriptions are...

Here are the links and the facts in the BB article above: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/08/11/the-full-lyrics-of-kill-the-boer-the-genocidal-chant-defended-by-new-york-times/ https://www.groundup.org.za/article/judge-rules-kill-boer---kill-farmer-not-hate-speech/ I hear you about...

I kind of slightly agree with you, except that facts are facts, no matter how much we don't like them. I encourage you to embrace the facts and not pretend they don't exist. By the way, I am at my remote hunting cabin right now, where I am daily "touching the grass." Yesterday I was flintlock...

Here is what I like about the Ruger Marlin 1895 SBL: High quality stainless steel, excellent open sights, large loop lever, rugged laminate wood, threaded barrel, and rugged construction allowing the use of hot loads. It is extremely accurate. It is an unusually well thought out and executed...

Here is the Lyman black powder manual that shows their lowest power 45-70 loadings:
