Speaking of which, I just saw an 1885 for sale chambered in 348 Winchester. The guy is selling it because of the recoil.

Yep, put that together for MS primitive.

grin yeah figured somebody'd say something about shooting
it in the road... private dirt road runs from one box blind to the next.
Sure do love it when they fall like that, just back the ranger
right up to them.


BT, had it pushed over 3,000 easy with no
problems, other than the groups seemed to gradually open up the more powder I fed it. Had hoped to shoot 260 Accubond,
but so far it doesn't like them as well. Needs lots more
tuning n tweaking!

I met a guy that hunted deer with a 375.
He had had a bad experience with .223 and so compensated.
He was a PhD candidate in mining engineering.

Got a nice 4x4 Mule deer buck with my 1885 Hi Wall. 38-55 caliber with open sights and shooting Black Mag powder. 183 yards with open sights. This is my first post here so will have to figure out how to put up a picture.

Pictures aren't easy to post, but there is a tutorial in the "photography section."


If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.
