Average Shot Range in East Cape SA

“230ish”? Are you a soul so brave as to only take shots so far as you can well estimate with the naked eye?
Well done. My taste in vintage rifles may be just a little bit different, but I have a soft spot for the lever guns. Hopefully I can take my 1895 on a future trip.

My PH said the exact range when I shot. That was 3 years ago. It was at least 230, and I think a bit more - 230ish. It was a trickier shot than it sounds. It was in the open, the wind was freaking screaming, and it was my smallest critter - a springbok.

I have an 1895... I have pondered mine as well.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
