    Would you use single shot for Dangerous Game?

    Of course I would hunt DG with my newly acquired #1 in .450/.400 NE 3”. (That’s exactly what my line was to Mrs when I begged her outta the Botox money she got for Christmas). :sneaky:

    FN Commercial Mauser problem

    +1 on the freezer trick for 24 hours. Saw a vid on YT and the freezer trick worked for that guy.

    Another huge shout out to @TOBY458 for this awesome Ruger #1 .450/.400 deal. In spite of my chosen FFL throwing him curves on every pitch he got this runner to home plate in less than a week. Thanks again, sir!
