And before we get too carried away with distractions, that's a great set of machine work for cobbling short 20 ga pinfire hulls, nice going!

Re Sniders and bison. I was very fortunate to find this one

and sneak up on a very tasty small bison guided by Lee Hawes in SW Kansas

A 100 yard shot, 70 grs Swiss 1-1/2 Fg, a couple of 24 ga wonder wads and a 500 gr paper patched bullet, RMC turned brass. Broadside shot across top of heart, no bones hit, bullet made exit. One shot did the trick, though the bison did trot about 50 yds before hanging head and falling.
