For an in-depth look at the Portuguese dory fishermen off the Grand Banks, it is hard to beat Alan Villiers' "Quest of the Schooner Argus," and of course there is Rudyard Kipling's classic "Captains Courageous." By the way, the 1937 movie of the same name with Spencer Tracy and ...

Back in the summer of 2002 I was making a maintenance inspection of Kaunakakai Harbor on the island of Molokaʻi, and I spotted a St. Pierre dory moored there, it was beautiful, in great condition, and best of all it was for sale! I took several photos and emailed them to my dad, and letting him kno...

I think the St. Pierre has the most glorious sheerlines of all the dories. Thanks so much Ji ! I agree with you Bill, they are, to my eye, unbelievably beautiful.

I know this was somewhat of a mythical round in the day but found this repro so to speak interesting.

The .45 colt was designed to shoot horses. War isn't pretty. The best way to unseat a cavalry troop is to shoot his horse. It's a very big target. In westerns you'll see bandits chasing a stage coach. In reality if one wanted to stop a coach you'd simply kill one of the horses. The remaining horses...

I have a B-92 project gun that had a badly bulged barrel and shot 240s just fine before I sawed the barrel off . . .

If you review the SAAMI spec for the 44 mag in a rifle and compare them to the SAAMI spec for the 44 mag in pistol you will find they are virtually two different cartridges.

If it groups factory white box 240Gr JSP, Because if it does, then it's OK. If it groups 296Gr it's a gem. Ours would not group 300Gr jacketed. It's the twist rate issue.
