Last night, I watched "Seminole" with Rock Hudson from 1954. The movie was supposedly set in 1835 in Florida. US Army in action against Osceola (Anthony Quinn) and the Seminole tribe. I spotted what looked like Colt Patterson revolvers and several Colt 1851 Navy or 1861 Army revolvers. And...

Well, no offense meant to anyone...

I watched The Last Outlaw movie last night.

If it was not the worst movie I have ever seen, it was in the top 2 or 3.

What rifle does the soldier have at the 5:18 mark?

I'm with y'all on the Less Recoil BandWagon. My "big" rifle these days is a 260 Remington. Noise is also factor. In the woods or hunting, if I have to touch off a handgun round without any ear protection, I would much rather it be a 240gr 44cal at 1,000fps than a 158gr .357 at 1,400fps. Th...

Ain't that the truth. Long gone are my days of all day hiking, hunting and packing out game.

I cast #4Buck, 0Buck and 00Buck using molds from Sharpshooter. Glad I jumped on that bandwagon, years ago. The Sharpshooter molds do not have as thick of a sprue the Lee mold appears to have. However, using a small side cutter can almost completely remove the sprue. Check out Bubba Rountree Outdoors...

I tend to use the Big Little approach.

When I carry a small caliber rifle like a Marlin 39A, I usually carry a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44Mag.

When I carry a large caliber rifle like a Marlin 444, I may also carry a Ruger Mark II in 22LR.
