It has been no secret that I hold M1 .30 Carbines dear. In 1965, one of the 250,000 or so sold by the DCM to NRA members for $20 was my first center fire.

21st Century Rodent Rifles
The first smokeless rifle powder appeared in the 8mm Lebel cartridge in 1886, and shooters continue to feel the effects more than a century later – partly through a fixation on sheer muzzle velocity as the primary source of hunting rifle “magic.”

It may sound like sacrilege to hunters and shooters who preach cartridge ballistics like bible verse, but any suitable bullet at a half way decent velocity that punches a hole through the ribs and lungs of game animals promptly results in dead game, regardless of the cartridge.

Thieme-Schegelmilch 9.3x74R
Many American hunters dream of owning a double rifle suitable for hunting dangerous game in Africa. This is usually due to reading classic African hunting literature from the first half of the twentieth century, when smokeless powder made powerful doubles far more practical and effective than the really big-bore, black-powder rifles they replaced.
