Love that one Huvius. I switched to almost all hammer guns now. Both rifle and shotgun. Just something about them that appeals to me and they seem to always shoot well regulated.

I just ordered some new 500 bpe 3.25” ammo from Buffalo Arms, should be in by spring I’m told, if anyone is interested give them a call. Going in A/N 500 express. Can’t wait.

Tomahawker, we better have some "pitchers" when you shoot that ammo!

Huvius, beyond drooling here.

Bad Ass, that is a badass collection of Sharps rifles you have there!
Glad you are keeping the faith alive in Oz.

Bad Ass, that looks like a lovely sporting Snider. Who built it?
I have been out of the Snider and Martini game for a while, but it was a lot of fun.

Bill, it is a J.C. Lord sporting rifle. Two years I built the Martini "Super Snider" with a new Walther barrel. Loading 95gns Wano 2P and a 620gn projectile.

This target at 75 yards

Bad Ass, I think your Super Snider needs to be applied to one of your water buffalo!
