.416 at flyers. Wow. I wouldn't use anything bigger than my Rigby .375 for pigeons.

Point well taken Mr. M, I know your need no clarification on the matter, but the Rigby was fired at a Tree knot chosen by the owner of the grounds as the target......
Just a matter of curiosity..... softs or solids for a .375 pigeon gun? Kynoch or H&H Proprietary Cartridges......?

Here's another obit with more good stories of his career. The obit ends with this quote from Selby: “To deny the instinct to hunt,” he told People, “is to deny the instinct to exist.”

Yup, the Washington Post actually printed an obituary of a White Hunter. Apparently, Mrs. Selby has some contacts here in Washington.
