Anything over 7lb is heavy. No point carrying more weight than you need,it doesn't achieve anything.

We could EASILY got through 3 deer a year.

A mate simply had shallow grooves milled into the barrel for dovetail mounts. Seems pretty logical to me

Nice. I quite like hunting goats,good eating too. Over here they run feral but there's a market for their meat so a lot of people are rounding up the wild mobs and selling them. Luckily I have access and permission to hunt them locally 😁

Where did you shoot the billy ?

One thing I remember eating was the bait mix dad made when we used to go animal trapping for NPWS with Elliot traps. It was a mix of dried fruits,nuts,and rolled oats,all mixed up in honey. Coming to think of it,it was probably some form of breakfast muesli. Any way,it was my job to carry the...

I remember making scroggin for high school bushwalks 😁

I've eaten crows a lot. Very tasty.

I'm impressed by your shooting

Looks quite lovely. Wish my little Seneca would shoot well with light charges,I've quite enjoyed how quiet they are when I've tried them

Sigh. I want it bad,but being in Australia stuffs things up

Well I'm sure he found that helpful lol

It actually was worse. But anyway we are way off topic,as interesting as the discussion is 😊

I no longer have a 45-70. I have a 570gn CBE gas check mold that I could NEVER get to shoot well,tried it in 3 different guns from 1000fps to 2000fps ( 458wm ) and it keyholed every single time. I'm sure it would work for someone but not for me.

I don't know....I've got RCBS and Lyman and CBE and Lee molds....and I much rather use the Lee molds out of the lot. And they ALL can be overheated. And the most accurate bullets I've made were using a Lee mold ( .458 405gn for a 45/70 ) with minimum fuss and shot inch to 1½" groups at 100m (...

I can handle a lot more recoil than this one will give me....😏😁😏....I just don't like carrying a barrel heavy gun everywhere. I'll quite possibly shorten mine to match my other hawken style rifles

Because you can ! Lol. Only thing I dont like about mine is the weight

Are you talking to me ?

Um....I've got a .570 Lee mold right here.....

I believe you and I have the same gun !
