Famous Gun Writer shot Mule Deer, Elk, Black Bear with .25-20? How is that possible?
Posted by: | CommentsMy father died and and left all his hunting gear in this big wooden chest. My brother stole most of it, but I got the books. I can read. Got these gun/hunting books. One of the guys was a famous hunting writer called Francis E. Sell. I guess he was famous. My Dad had two of his books, and I notice his books are listed in the back of the 1968 Shooter’s Bible my father had. Supposedly, Mr. Sell was a “Timber Cruiser” for a timber company during the Great Depression. I have no idea what a Timber Cruiser is, or what he does. Anyway, Mr. Sell had a Winchester Model 92 carbine in Caliber .25-20. If I understand this correctly, that is a .25 Caliber bullet, backed by 20 grains of black powder or its smokeless powder equilvalent. That is what? About the power of a Modern .22 Magnum? And he claimed he lived entirely on meat he shot, black bear, deer, elk. How is that possible? How can you shoot such big game with such a small bullet?
