A bit late in the game here, but I find it humorous that Kirk at Shiloh will encourage owning and shooting howitzers like that 45-120, but when it comes to BPCR, he mostly shoots a 40-65.
It seems as though some rifles is meant for shooting, while others is meant for selling...
Yup, Garbe knew that too, and the .38 calibers carved some serious inroads in capable hands here for a while. The odd "turned pig" or "rung Ram" seemed worthwhile, in view of being to get up off your final relay with your wits intact.
