Excellent idea. I am still looking for a Ruger #1 in that caliber. That way I can test 45/70 loads that could blow up the weaklings . . .

No, all religions are not equal. True. If they were they would have no one to fight with. So each one has to style itself different than the other and proclaim it is THE ONE TRUE religion.

John Linebaugh once said that his sons, Dustin and Cole frequently carried 4 5/8" Rugers in .45 Colt when they were out in the hills and they found their loads with 250 gr cast bullets over 8.5 gr of 231 would pass through deer lengthwise even out past 75 yards. I'm pretty sure the 45 S will d...

I always thought that the "hunting scenes" in museums based on anthro-ignorance was suspect. I even went so far as to point out, from a hunter perspective, what was wrong with the expert's diorama, to no avail... Turns out that an atlatl will put a clovis point clean through a bison. "...
