Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR .50-90 Shiloh

Dunno if you are joking or what, but it was the darling on the Buffalo prairies for most of the big hunt. It's nickname is the "Big Fifty". In one of the most famous shots ever made, Billy Dixon shot an Indian from nearly a mile away with one essentially ending the siege of the Second Battle of Adobe Walls where the Buffalo Hunters about 30 strong stood off a mixed contingent of Southern Plains Indians IIRC, about 2,000 in number.
