After 70+ yrs of resting with my family I put it back in work this morning. 40 yds took out front leg bone, 2 ribs, lungs and bullet came to rest in gut bag.

Much more damage and blood shot meat than I expected from the weldcore Woodleigh.
The shoulder has been partly cut away so I could inspect wound channel.

Well John, it obviously 'still works' then.....nice to see the old girl still packs a punch....
John, the elephant you shot seems to be missing its trunk and also be a skinny mutant ;)
Good work on getting the old girl out for some action :thumbsup:
A satisfying hunt with an old girl:cool:
Guess thats why they invented the modern calibers, more meat to eat
Hey John. First look I thought shit you re not that old ha ha ..
That's a certified meat fuccer upa there isn't it .. Hope all is good with you
Cheers Happy
Oh my Cruiser looks a little different now as well !!
I thought damage looked minimal compared to typical amax nbt etc at modern velocitys.
Must have been satisfying to bowl one over with it john :thumbup:

E Payton & son 450 x 3 1/4" BPE rifle made about 1880. Photos in Reloading and Ballistics thread. "Elephants??"
Well done John. The degree of trauma on that shoulder is probably proportional to your personal elation at the successfulness of the rifle's revival.
How's your shoulder?
Nice...:thumbsup:
Never felt a thing when the right hammer fell and the smile on my face may still be there when I wake up tomorrow.
Well it sure works.:)
smile on ya face .... gotta be happy with that outcome :)
That's a real cracker of a wee story, thanks.
Would hate to think what kinda damage the ol double trigger pull would do!
To start with it would make my eyes water.
Like it!
Well done John , good to see the family heirloom is been used again !Quote:
