Out with
Lee Hawes for three grey, wet and chilly days with an original Remington roller as transformed by those fun-loving Swedes into a 12,7x42R (pretty much a .50-70) sporting rifle. I'll let the picture speak for itself:
I managed, much more by luck than skill, to end up in a perfect ambush situation after the herd changed course and I took the shot at about 60 yards. it's amazing what a 450 grain .50 caliber bullet can do even when started out at 1150 fps with the dinky Swedish cartridge. I like fat bullets!
A year of good eating ahead, yum!
