.45s?

[Critter Getter]

I just remembered that my wife’s buck that she shot a few years back was taken with a TC Seneca .45 caliber and a maxi ball or maxi hunter........I can’t remember which. Spine shot dropped it in its tracks at 15 yards.........

While trucking across the prairies up here, I found a TC Cherokee. 45 that needed a new home. I have the .32 already and need the mythical. 36 now.

My father started building BP rifles in the late 1950's. He made his last one shortly before his death in 2005. The vast majority were in .45. He considered it the best all around caliber. As a matter of fact, when I showed up with a .50 cal in my early 20's he asked if I was going to take up hunting elephants. I literally grew up with black powder and most of my rifles have been .45. It's economical in both powder and lead while producing reliable killing power. What more can you ask for? Walk into my den right now and you may notice that the one and only rifle is a flintlock built in the 1960's. It's a .45. You did good.

John, good to hear you still have one of his rifles and appreciate it! I hope you have a younger family member who it can go to at a later time and will be also appreciated by them.

Barry, I have a bit of a problem. I'm a lefty and all of my kids and grandkids are right-handed!

Sounds like a mixup in the gene pool. I’ve got three sisters, all left handed. I am right handed but left eye dominant.....

My daughters are both righties, but left eye dominate. The grandkids are a mix including one lefty. I'm a righty righty, but my one grandpa was a lefty.
