    A cannon article in local paper y'all might be interested in

    Local guy is putting together a cannon for the Starkville museum. Thought you have some interest in this. With your connections, maybe you could spread it around or something. :) Excerpt:

    Fatal Feral Hogs

    No. In fact a couple years ago somebody was marketing a similar round for 12 gauge that had 2 large projectiles wired together similar to chain shot, and stuffed inside a shotgun shell. For a front stuffer you'd have to make a paper or cardboard cup for them. I doubt terminal ballistics would...

    Fatal Feral Hogs

    Only when the State classifies them as "nuisance" critters with no limits on bag limit 24/7/365, and no restrictions on how you dispatch them. :)

    Fatal Feral Hogs

    Uh huh. Try it out, and get back to us when they let you out of the emergency ward. :)

    Fatal Feral Hogs

    Good luck if there's more than one. Better hope there's a tree handy. ;)

    Fatal Feral Hogs

    One thing that folks need to pay attention to: There is a difference between hunting hogs and defending yourself against one (or more) that is attacking you. Around here the advice for defense is a large caliber handgun (.40/10mm or bigger), a 12 gauge with slugs/00buck, or a equivalent...

    Fatal Feral Hogs

    Lot of 'em in MS. Haven't seen any on my property in the 20 years we've been here, but they are in the neighborhood. Just a matter of time before they show up at my back door. In one neighboring county they killed over 600 last year. Nearly all by trapping. But it hardly made a dent in the...

    Practice with a Repro Navy Colt

    Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I have a set of gunsmith drivers I picked up some years ago from DAC Gunmaster. https://www.dactec.com/collections/tools-and-accesories/products/gunmaster-31pc-professional-driver-set Good set if you can keep track of the bits. ;)

    Which powders for revolvers?

    I still have about 1/2lb of FFg Gearhart-Owen from the 90's. I think it's GOEX now? Anyway, I shoot it occasionally in my CVA repro .44 Navy Colt.

    Favorite wall display mount?

    What I made for the den/mancave. Things get switched out occasionally.

    Tomahawk/knife throwing target

    Standard warning in USMC etc. training since forever. "Never throw your knife away." Throwing knives, etc. is for Circus sideshows, friendly competitions, and similar things; not for combat/survival weapons which are not designed for throwing. Use your knife to make an atlatl and darts for...

    minies in smoothbore

    Straight lands and grooves on the slug make it more difficult for the slug to get thru a choke. A twist gives the lead a place to move to as it passes thru the choke.

    minies in smoothbore

    What keeps a shotgun slug stabilized in flight from a smooth bore is the weight distribution. Weight is forward of the center of gravity as a result of hollowing out the base to a considerable depth. Often referred to as Mass Stabilization. The same thing applies to minies. Rifling on slugs...

    Care of meat in warm temps?

    My ancestors used a "powdering tub", back in the 1600's. Simply a large tub of coarse salt that you buried the meat in. Take out what you need for meals, brush off the salt back into the tub. But they didn't have to go far for game back then either. Neither do I, since I harvest on my land. :)

    Michael just posted a short video of the delivery and mounting of the barrel on YouTube.
