One thing is for sure, long-range shooting is not required for Nilgai, and a good bullet placed properly will still kill even the hardiest of animals.

To me and many others, the .41 is no longer the “Middle Magnum” or “Forgotten .41”. It is and has always been the All-Purpose .41. 

My recent trip to Sweden for hunting allowed my wife and I to use a lot of outdoor gear and clothing.

The adjustable component trigger assembly JP pioneered years ago was the benchmark of aftermarket triggers available for the MSR.

I never realized how important top-quality leather gear or holsters were until I needed to wear a gun around all day long, riding horses, doing chores, hunting wearing a pack, sitting in a vehicle, crawling through brush, and competing while performing rough and tumble activities.

Assembled and complete, I now have a rifle that never was but should have been.

Several years back, I took a small ring Mauser 96, in 6.5×5,5 and turned it into a scout-type rifle. It later became a more traditional rifle with normal scope mounts and a turned-down bolt. In that configuration it became my loaner, backup, knock-around rifle for friends and relatives that asked to borrow a rifle for impromptu hunts. 

The rounds of the HammerDown line are what would today be called short-range rounds.
