robzIf DRIVEL was an animal what calibre would you use
Drivel has now been declared a noxious species. This board has apparently been overrun by drivel.
Let us establish a minimum calibre for the job at hand. NitroX, which of your hand held howitzers would you deem suitable for so noble a task?
I would possible bring out my old 303B.good enough for King and Empire, say what?

Mike375If there was no Drivel then there would be no site.
Why don't some of you blokes come down to the political forum where it is a free for all. I know NitroX said that the political forum is the headquarters of Drivel BUT he only says that because he tried his hand there and did not last.
We need some more Australians down there to battle these politician loving yanks. The Europeans wade in amongst the hoards of yanks but there is only a couple of Australians.

safari_hunterI would call the drivel in by imitating John Howard's voice and hit him with both barrels of a side-by-side shotgun.

rugeruserMike, the political forum takes itself SOOOO seriously - it's fun to chuck a bait into the water!

NitroXAn assegai in the intestines.
As Wilbur wrote "Bayete, I have eaten!"
(PS I believe in getting milage from my photos)

Aspen Hill AdventuresThe ONLY suitable caliber would be the 45-70.
Cal-I-BER... say it and spell it so.
Y'all kept the Brits around too long.

Now that would depend on if it was the smaller southern drivel or the larger Northern hairy nose drivel

HiWallNot to mention the Northern Hairy Arsed Drivel!

BwanaBobAnn, you are absolutely right!!!
On the African Hunting forum of the AR site we have done the great ".45/70 vs Syncerus caffer (a.k.a nyati, mbogo, cape buffalo) debate" to death (.....and over, and over, and over, and over, again)!
Now, on the Australian Hunting forum, we can have the great ".45/70 vs Drivel debate"! We could rave on about the possibilities for months, even years, and generate so much Drivel, in the meantime, that we'd all be able to spend the rest of our days shooting Drivels (mit .45/70 of course!) without having to worry about quotas or trophy fees ever again.

NitroXI think a .45/70 is fine for drivel, but a .458 Lott is required for dribble.
Dribble is far more difficult to deal with than drivel.

ReconoFor true drivel, .416 Rigby is best, although almost anything with an SD of .330 or so would be fine, the idea being to maximize injury to "innocent" bystanders.

Aspen Hill AdventuresJohn, dribble is easily cured with modern antibiotics.
Robert, I was near death waiting for someone to take up the 45-70 debate here. Glad to see it finally happened so I can live another day!

muzzaThe 45-70 is ok , but it would be far more sporting - and manly too - to pursue the foe with no more than a blunt pocket knife and a home made spear. This would appeal far more to the primal inner man ( Ann could join in too but the required costume of just a loincloth may put her off ...)and the kudos gained from a successfull drivel hunt under these circumstances would be huge .
The african tribesman hunts his lion to become a man , we Antipodeans could hunt a drivel as a rite of passage. Just a thought , and mentioning the 45-70 has to prolong the discussion on that calibre as well- with correct spelling!

Far CanelNo no no,
.17HMR,because it is a thin skinned animal and full of $hit.
