    72.cal

    Dixie Slugs has been working on a bullet for the Pedersoli 72 for some time. There now has been three designs tested in Italy, Alaska, and here at Dixie Slugs.

    Irish in North America

    I find this thread quite interesting as I have somewhat a tie to it. One of my grandmothers (about 5 greats) was an Irish Indentured Servant (slave) named Bridget and was 13 years old when sold in Virginia. My Stewart ancestors were also Catholic and "bought" her for a wife, his name being...
