    Mike, Time to man up and go in after them the vintage way. With a spear. :D Are you finding the Leve-revolution rounds really give you a range increase? I've read reviews with opinions on either side.

    You probably know this but there's a (tough to get) permit draw for plains bison up by Delta Junction here in AK. The woods variety died off around the turn of the century but they reintroduced the plains boys in '28 (vintage bison).

    If the rifling is a tight twist to stabilize a slower moving bullet, it is going to increase chamber pressure by actually impeding a bullet being driven faster by a higher-pressure powder. It'd be interesting to see what bullet weights and twists the rifles were using. Might also had...

    The start-up costs on a big saltwater tank can be managed if you do like I did and fold them into the construction finances for the secret underground volcano lair. It's maintaining the shark tank that gets expensive. Those things have to be fed daily, and your enemies can never be relied...
