Why????? - Rick Mulhern - 05-02-2013
Why....do we ponder around with these BPCR rifles, constantly searching for a 1/2 MOA load when we KNOW that we can get this shooting a modern rifle and smokeless loads??
I have a feeling that it's the CHALLENGE....more than anything else!

The same reason I fly fish and hunt with a longbow, like you said THE CHALLENGE!

Anybody can go to Walmart get a savage with the accutrigger a leupold scope and a box of federal match ammo.. Not quite the case with bpcr.

#1 is that I have learned to really enjoy my .40-65
#2 starting from scratch, did not even know how to load a cartridge about 4 years ago has been a fun/frustrating learning curve
#3 outshooting people in my area[them using modern rifles with high dollar scopes] with no scope and black powder @ 300 yards = "priceless"
