dang, you do pretty great work eric!

for what its worth, i used a 45/70 350gr bullet at 2150 fps for backup on brown bears. it actually did a pretty great job, the only thing it does not do well is shooting over 200 yards. we don't let clients shoot over 200 yards. (i currently carry a 458 win) the bears that i shot with it as...

you should watch tim wells video's. there is a lot of thought put into his blowgun kills. 1.very sharp 2 perfect shot placement 3. he tweaks the darts so they penetrate much farther than you thing they would.(completely below the hide inside the animal) 4.yeah, i suppose great trackers...

i believe i read this story written by w.d. bell, in his book, "koromojo safari." the guy did exactly as stated above. then was telling guys about it in a bar, was called as BS. so went out with others and did it again is how the story went (i believe that's correct )

btw, tell you what, if you are interested, i will trade you winchester brass for the nickel brass that @mcornell is sending you. i thought you live in ak, i am in anchorage, we can meet or figure out a way to swap brass, i have at least 40 brass cases i would trade you. thanks, don

still crimes.

Gizmo has fantastic accommodations, i can heartily endorse his outfit!

@mccornell, thank you for the offer, i have enough to get by. @tklanika_ray, go right ahead and buy that stuff, i do appreciate that you were considerate of my ask.
