ChiefR53Help please on old drilling article
I recently purchased my first drilling and am looking for information. I recall a very old article by Pierre Pulling,(sp) perhaps in Gun Digest or similar. Can anyone help with info or perhaps a copy. Also any other info on these fascinating guns. I do have the DGJ series.
Thanks for any help

luv2safariI live drillings, and some others here are real authorities on them.
What would you like to ask?
I have that issue around here somewhere. It may take a day or two to find it.

Die Ou Jagterluv, I hear you sold Blackfly one of your coveted drillings, how did he manage that feat?

ChiefR53Hi luv, I am primarily interested in finding some articles about actually hunting with these guns in the field. I have for years enjoyed using classics but have been more Anglocentric.
My H&H hammer 12 and the AH 450 BPE both take game on a regular basis and I look forward to doing the same with the new one as well.
It's nothing unusual, JP Sauer and Sohn 16x8x57JR hammer from 1921. It's been refinished to a very usable but not original condition.
So I would be grateful on help in hunting down some literature on using these guns in the field.
Thanks

I'll hunt up another one sometime soon. Anymore, drillings seem to find ME!

luv2safariChief,
I know I have the issue of GD that has an article about drillings. I don't remember exactly the crux of the article, however.
