    akaroa1 liked post by Gruffle On thread : Tuatahi axe project - small axe / hatchet for hunting, tramping, fishing etc
    Well, it's been a while, but at long last have some solid news on the Tuatahi small axe concept. They have made a couple of prototypes, and one is on its way to me now. They have asked me not to...

    I’ve got a recent Cooper in 275 Rigby. It’s stamped on the barrel so it must be true��. It was always a fantasy of mine to own one��

    What I mean by this, is that it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as a .275 ""Rigby"" cartridge. Its a name made up by modern American gun writers from a misunderstanding. The cartridge was...

    akaroa1 liked post by ZQLewis On thread : H414 powder in 45-70 ? Hodgdon data
    H414 is the same as W760, spherical ball powders. If you check all the load data as well you will find it is identical. Nb if you go back a long way it may be different. Z
