Your buff really is a nice one, some are decidedly ugly brutes and yet others just seem more "good looking". A kid I taught to hunt recently shot a big buff  intruder on their farm - using a .308 and 180gr Norma Oryx bullets. His buff was one of those sparsely haired dandruff grey buff.
This one seems so beautifully unmarred.

So, the actions are then very different, Diesel/Petrol kinda different. I wondered about centering the firing pins and primers.
 At one stage i was very gingerly looking into the prospect of getting some of those rifled shotgun barrels and making a rifled S/S to shoot slugs from a shotgun at shotgun pressures.
This was gonna be my beeeg "Daaadddaaaa!" moment, but I lost steam as old age and sensibility set in.

I did not think there was any pretense for it to be seen as any other presentation.

The GunSite ban love affair is long standing.
 Fuck em !
When that false friend KK guy did his play up to me with that human horror Big T, the cause was good, get rid of a absolute cunt, the reasons only came out later when I stopped dancing to his commands. That whole GS is a little powerplay with the Superior Beings being the moderators. I must say however there are mods like Cammo that just moderate, no superior being perceptions.
 ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  thought I would battle without GS, but I still have most of the guys on all other media.

Correct, Wiki. It however gives general info and saved me time in writing a whole spiel.

Sorry guys .. reads like a commercial - perhaps the purpose of the article
American popcorn sensationalism
I spent a year in the Zambezi valley - on the Zambezi
Was in amongst big herds of buffalo every day - going down to the Zambezi to drink
Do I want to shoot a buffalo .. naw - not unless I REALLY have to
Much prefer just observing them
