Thanks Raimey and agree. The old Indian saying, "When the tiger jumps on your elephant's head, the recoil of the gun is not important" or some such...i.e. I'd imagine the users of the big bore rifles did not wear tweed coats. (and sniff about their Damascus barrel designs).
On the Reilly line I've posted the new chapter XI, subchapter 76 on Reilly and steel barrels, much based on Dr. Drew's research. If there are no objections, I'll change the Reilly history,
I must say that I learned a bunch from this line. Now if someone can clarify what process Enfield was using in 1869 to make steel barrels for the Snider-Enfield, that would be a bonus
Oh yes, I forgot to add a Sabanless "Roll Tide."
