"Pudding" is the British word for any form of dessert, at least if you belong to the upper classes.

BTW - Game Keeper's recipe sounds fine. Perhaps I should cook one.

American gun prices are not my cup of tea, but Win 94Bb is it indeed. Buy it if the price seems OK, because you get a handy light-weight powerhouse with mild recoil. I got one, and it's beside my Win 88 my favourite gun.

There isn't any mod 86 in Chiappas catalogue, but I found a nice .22-cal revolver - at least it would have been nice without the superfluous cross safety. http://www.armichiappa.it/ita/catalogo.pdf

Twenty years ago I bought a mod24 20/.22WM, but just had a lot of problem with it. It was impossible to sight it in, as it sadly enough dramatically changed the POI to the next day. I traded it, but still have bad conscience for not having reclaimed it where I bought it.

As 1886 says, those triggers are touchy. My 'smith, who is one of the country's premier trigger 'smiths will not touch an 88.

On this side of the Pool we still use patches, if we got a flat bicycle tire. But a little box with rubber solution, patches an a bit of sandpaper costs almost as much as a new inner tube.

These guns can be very accurate. The .308W in my safe is able to put five bullets in 1 inch at 100 yds. Sierra 180 grs RN with moderate velocity did that well, and my new load of Hornady Interbond with nearly max loads seems to be really accurate too.

Old Sh.

Old Shatterhand

I take it you can't cast. That's what I'd do if I was worried about bullets holding together. Those Hornady 220s are made for .375 Win velocities. The Barnes is the same bullet as the .38-55 with the cannelure in a different place... The Hornady bullets will do fine on the game mentioned with prope...

Bullets prices are indeed increasing, and a box of 50 Barnes FN 255 grs for the .375Win has reached the 80$ limit for a box of 50 at this side of the Pool. But Hornady FN 220 grs cost 70$ for a 100 box. What is your opinion and your experience - are the Hornadies good and heavy enough for elk, hog a...

if you can get the serial number, you can check the date it was made and that will help with the price.

Today I saw a Winchester mod 1892, .32 W.C.F. It has a 24" octagon barrel, full length mag, half moon butt plate, unmarred screws and very fine blueing.

How efficient is the cartridge, and what could a fair price be? Any other comments?

Watch out for those trying to limit your ownership! They have been rather successful here, and hunters are not allowed to own more than six long gun.

Horse meat is sold smoked and sliced as Hamburger Meat here in Sweden, and is eaten on sandwiches. I have also tried horse as steak, but didn't appreciate it, as it was a bit oily in the taste.

My understanding is that the brass for .38-55 is thinner than .375Win. The difference IIRC is in the web. Last time I bought brass the 375W was sold out, so I bought some Winchester .38-55 instead. It is easy to trim the brass to .375 dimensions with Lee's trimming tool. However, I have measured th...
