Even Grand-Master..... can make mistakes ya know!

Does anybody experience wrist fatigue when wankin' the bolt? I find shooting gloves to be lots of help if this is a problem...

The things that muzzleloaders have going for them are extra barrel legnth, large bores, and balls of lead! The high-power crowd prides themselves on speed, precision, and consistency. Many attribute their performance to handloading.

I'm sure we'll soon be hearing about double rifles and auto-loaders. Also, parallel topics of varminting, safaris, and big game have yet to be addressed. Even though whaleing is internationally forbidden, you know it still happens...

How might gun control and concealed carry laws figure into all this?

ps. canada is where it's at

Dont expect good results with cold barrels. Warm up shots are good before serious shooting.

And what about barrel heating, doesn't it really expands the bore.

Or was it the other way round :-)) ?

I've also been told that the recoil from big bores hurts at first but once you get used to it, it works much better and follow up shots aren't necessary.

At least it won't have as many references to armadillos.

Now I know you are all whacked, or, is that the proper term, considering the topic?;-)

I think so.

Is it true smaller bores always have more magazine capacity and more shots? Some "gun-smiths" can tinker with your rifle and add more rounds, but unless the gun-smith is a she (he he), that will not happen to me any time soon!

Jiri

we also can own only one, but I frequently hear (and read)about people loaning out their rifles or borrowing others from good friends......

Accidental discharge. I've destroy some very precious "game" mags that way.

Can you post a picture of that beauty?

I pity those who are underguned or have poor marksmanship.

Gentlemen, always keep your guard up when in the bush. Shoot the hottest, most potent loads you have until you are out of ammo. Because, as we all know, any animal that will bleed for five days straight-- AND NOT DIE-- cannot be trusted with your life!!!

Jiri,

After I posted, my paranoia got the best of me. Just so there is no mistake in the translation, I believe we would be referring to a picture of the wifle (as opposed to rifle, get it? ) and not your weapon.

When hunting for lion and leopard in the bush, make sure you use a nicely balanced big bore.

Then they become just nice furry warm pussys.

But don't be tempted to use your favourite small bore, because if you mess up, you'll have a hellcat in your hands.

Typically this involves completely boning it out in the bush. It's worth doing a good job, so take your time. Nobody likes tainted meat. And, if rushed, it may be tough and not be quite as enjoyable in the future...

If your trophy has a nice rack with a good spread, this is always a good time to ponder different ways to mount it. There is the traditional full-body mount, but a head mount is always more popular when space is a concern. You may even want to consider mounting it on a pedestal or try a unique rump mount!

The most important consideration you will ever make is how to serve your trophy. While there are many, many ways I find they are best served with champagne or fine wines. (and they usually think so too!) Also, your finest crystal-- usually diamonds-- is a must.

Best results come after you marinade them with exotic oils and spices. Many popular recipies involve pork. French cusine requires tongue.

Finally, just as a reminder, it is always good to know the local laws and customs. Here in the U.S. there is no bag limit, but possession limit is one and only one. In some countries they have higher posession limits but I think this is rare.

Happy hunting to all!
