Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa bpe:black powder express rifles

I am just the current caretaker of the Holland. For shooting, I
take a Cogswell and Harrison 450 3 1/4 BPE. The factory letter
states that this was born on Oct. 12, 1897 and sold for 33 guineas. At 8 lb, 14 oz, it shoots 300 grain bullets @1900 f/s to
point of aim at 50 yards.

In original condition

Or I shoot a 26" barrel Trulock and Harriss of Dublin 450 BPE
the same loads.

The prior owner shot warthogs, impala and baboons in Zimbabwe then returned to Hawaii and sold it to me.
