Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Bill Bagwell's Smoke Over Africa, Chapter 1: Starts with historical discussion of BPCR bison hunters and show and tell of ammo and rifle.





















Rifle: The Shiloh Sharps 45-70 that fired 27,000 rounds over a 30 year period of study and mastery before this hunt.
Cartridges: .45-70 loaded with BP and the 480-gr PH grease-groove bullet that can also be used in lever actions,
and a heavier paper-patched bullet looking like the 514-grainer that Sir Jerry got the mould for from Sir Bill Bagwell.
Both bullets and both hunters are killer dillers.
