Purple! Because Ice cream has no bones!

Couldn't be better said, a great round with a ton of uses. Not to mention the cheapest way to get a lot of good trigger time.

Yes indeed got a brick of em currently. Also got about 250 CCI Stingers I've been hoarding for years. Love those Stingers! We keep back a steer every year for our own use. Well thats a mis nomer cause we've kept him back for two years. a two year old is what ya want to slaughter. Anyhoo, we have a slaughter company that comes to the ranch and drops the steer, hoist him up gets him skinned and gutted and quartered. They then hang the quarters in their refrigerated truck and deliver him to the butcher for us. They use a .22 magnum and they drop like a rock. These aren't tamed steers or anything so he's shooting across a pen say 20-30 yds sometimes and he takes his time for the right shot but its an instant drop even on a 1,100 lb steer.

I have used a friends .17HMR to kill a boar. He was on the fight and was fixing to charge and the .17 Henry was the only long gun with us. Figured it was better than the lil 9mm Glock 43 I had on my belt! We kept playing peek a boo around a water storage tank. I'd shot him a couple of times right between the eyes and the lil .17 didn't penetrate the skull. Then I was able to put one right behind the ear and that was that. Dropped like a rock. Was out fixing fence horseback and came by one of our storage tanks that holds water out of a spring. This boar was laying down on the dirt on the other side of the tank. I thought he was dead cause it was mid day and he's just laying down still on a flat, no cover no shade. Handed my horse to the wife and got the Henry .17 that our friend Mary K had on her saddle. As I got closer I could see him twitch some and he got up laboriously. His left front leg was hugely swollen and he couldn't put any weight on it. He was probably really fevered and that was why he'd laid down, maybe more of a passed out deal. Made the decision to put him out of his misery. I moved to the other side of this 10,000 gal storage tank and there he was facing me. So snuck to the other side trying for that shot behind the ear and dang if he wasn't there facing me again. So I popped him between the eyes and nothing. Snuck to the other side of the tank and dang if he wasn't facing me again. Popped him again and snuck to the other side of the tank. This time he was still looking for me where I had been. Was able to put that round just behind the ear and he dropped. Went up behind him and put a 9mm in the back of his head from a couple of inches just to make sure. Hate to see an animal suffer. He'd of gotten worse and worse and then been eaten alive by coyotes or his own kind. Couple of weeks later there were hardly even any bones left there, it'd been scavenged so well. These days I carry my big 10mm that I call my belt rifle when we go back there. Here's Mary K's .17 Henry:

Well heck we better mention the other end of the spectrum. This is a .700 Nitro Express. It was made by my friend Butch Searcy of The All American Double Rifle Co. Butch is like the only guy in the world that can make the whole double rifle. At the European gun houses that specialize in these things there is a guy that makes the barrels, another guy that regulates the barrels, another guy that makes the action, another guy that tunes the action, another guy that makes the stock, another guy that finishes the stock and ya get the idea. Butch does it all except the engraving. This rifle was back in his shop for another set of barrels. Butch asked me to hold it while he set up the photo. Ya see that empty case near the end of the tusk? Then ya see the two knives I'd made for my friend that was taking the pics and doing an article on Butch for Sporting Classics magazine The knives were kinda featured as I used Butch's stock cut offs for the scales. Each of those knives are over 9"long so that gives ya a decent size comparison on that empty from a .700 Nitro Express case. I asked what that rifle cost and when he told me I handed it back cause I didn't want to hold it anymore at $125,000! It was dang heavy too and Butch said it was about 25 pounds in weight. Anyhoo the other end of the spectrum:

I have one of Butch’s doubles in .500 NE. It is quite the rifle, and very well made. Glad I got it many years ago, probably couldn’t afford it now.
 
Alive and kicking, been busy in a good way. When it gets quiet in here I tend to do the same.

Uploading a quick video about the Cowbell sheaths, I'll post it here shortly.

Will be shipping the current Dibs within a few days, I'll be sending out the notifications.

Workin on a Newsletter, as usual I'll post a heads up before it goes out.

You are a lucky man! Last time I looked and its been years, they started at $15k. Was in his shop once and he was showing me rifles that he had in his safe. This one belongs to King so and so and this one is for Prince somebody or other, he just found another oil well. We went to lunch at Domigo's there in Boron. Come back and the answer machine is flashing. "Butch, its Tom, Tom Selleck, want to talk to you about a rifle, give me a call." Butch told me anything under .500 he considers a small caliber.

Passed through Boron many years ago for a project at Edwards AFB. Remember eating at a place that had great milkshakes.

This could possible be a first. A Cowbell and a Searcy!
