I recently bought a JP Sauer William Tell stalking rifle in 8.15 x46R. The cases are made from 30-30 and dies are available. Just picking up the rifle fills me with a burning desire to be still hunting a densely wooded river bottom!

[@huckstirred7112]

great shooting . As a fellow black powder cartridge shooter , here is what I learned . Weigh every charge to a tenth of a grain . use a drop tube of at least 2 foot , have a powder compression die , compress your powder at least a 1/16 th of an inch . fill the case full with your properly weighed powder charge then compress your powder . Use a card wad then grease cookie " I recommend spg then another card wad Then seat your bullet a few thousand of an inch from the ogive .Taper crimp with a 50 A&E sizing die . With this procedure and tuning you will be able to the accuracy you have now at 50 meters at 200 . With black powder cartridge the reloading bench is almost as important as the rifle . The more time you spend casting your slugs " measuring and weighing each slug " and the more time you put at the reloading bench the more accurate your rifle . You can be primitive reloading , but it will never reach full potential . Your black powder gun has the ability to shoot as well as a modern factory rifle if you work on loading bench

Love learning about old historical firearms. Well done, sir.

[@BillB23]

Nice shootin', Tex! No disrespect intended; gorgeous rifle, good marksmanship, admirable respect for history. I love how you honor the game, the firearm, and the history of the region, its militaries, and the mores of the time. Kudos!

[@NickRiggi]

Love your KZbin channel. I'm been reloading, 44 mag and special, 30/30 wincester and 35 Remington with lead and lead coated bullets gas check all with the brinell hardness 16 to 18. But You show me in many of you videos a whole different way. Learning too

[@tlloyd9325]

The rifle looks like it was purpose built with pride. A hunting man’s rifle to be sure. Thanks for the information on Sauer. I own one of their modern rifles in an old caliber/cartridge, the 6.5 Swede. Absofreakinglutely love it!

[@HazardousMoose]

beautiful gun, lovely presentation, impressive know-how and craftsmanship. Thank you for taking the time to show us these projects:)

[@msw00]

Excellent video, I love your use of the vintage rifles and cartridges. Well done and keep it up.

[@dobypilgrim6160]

Wonderful rifle. I took my first deer with a Rolling Block in the same caliber. I reloaded the same way you showed. My "sizing die" was the chamber of the rifle, running it in and out a couple of times. This was when I was in the 8th grade, in 1973. Simpler times.

[@capandball]

:) And probably happier :)

[@marcogram1216]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of history.

[@wetdedstuocm]

Excellent video I like how you go in detail about a firearm and keep it interesting.. You have a very fine rifle in that J. P Sauer..

[@davidinghram2494]

I have always enjoyed shooting old rifles, and truly enjoyed watching this video as well. Thanks

[@arl0xen551]

I was very impressed with your reloading method. I noticed the wax in the bullet grooves, but was rather surprised at the lack of a bullet lube/ coating, like alox or such. I'm reasonably certain there is a historical equivalent. I just love your videos. The quality and thought you put into them, really you deserve more recognition.

[@Mattis_FH]

Absolutely fantastic videos! So interesting and very well made.

[@freedomfirst5420]

Such a beautiful rifle! You weren't kidding, when you said precise markings. Very good video!

[@syariefdirgantara7670]

Beautiful historical rifle, great shooting skills & professional vid presentation. Always enjoyful to watch

[@BuntaBall40]

Beautiful example of true craftmenship

[@petev.6598]

Two great videos in one day! Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@BuzzardBait48]

Great shooting. I really enjoy watching you shooting, and explaining the rifle you was shooting.

[@bobperrine6193]

Another well made video! I always look forward to seeing your videos and enjoy your work.

[@Devlin48]

Another excellent and very informative video. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

[@christophergainey9395]

I love watching every one of your videos. Keep making them

[@rndball5457]

Excellent demonstration of black powder reloading! I also enjoyed the hunting video with this rifle.

[@MrCrymet]

i am an absolute fan of the guns from Sauer. This is an absolutely wonderfull looking rifle you have there and its precise too!

[@99dsm1]

Keep hoping to see you review something in 38-40. I have one made in 1888 with a special order 26 inch barrel. Thanks for your time spent educating people on classics.

[@j.paul.joseph]

All good bores will find a good load. What a great line. Thanks for the videos.

[@STMwoodturning]

It's great to see an old rifle shoot again! Thanks for sharing process of making the ammo. Looks like it has a good bit of recoil.

[@capandball]

Not hard at all. The rifle is light, probably that's why it jumps.

[@MrTruckerf]

Beautiful old rifle and very good shooting. I was surprised by the shot in the intro; what a fireball! The old cannon can still do the job.

[@capandball]

Blackpowder rulez!

[@izkormvach-prazoiad]

Awesome hunting rifle! Lovely video! 👍🍻

[@chrischiampo7647]

Great Rifle Can’t wait To See It As It’s Hunting 😊😊😊🥶

[@behindenemylines3361]

Another awesome video - I love those old rifles!

[@northernwoodsman]

I love these shooting and reloading videos!

[@jeffreygraf3358]

Excellent video! You show that neccessity is the mother of invention. Those 45/90 cartidges will shoot as good as the originals once they are fire formed to your chamber. Inspiring!

[@mineplow1000]

Oh to spend an unlimited time with you and yours in Hungary. Thank you for your work.

[@mediocreman6323]

Who would have ever thought that Forgotten Weapons would ever have a peer to match (and sometimes outmatch) the quality of contents considering old firearms? Most excellent work!

[@matwetton]

this is perhaps the single most beautiful rifle I have ever seen.

[@thedestroyer9512]

Excellent video! You always do an excellent job.

[@christophergainey9395]

Very nice shooting man !!! That is incredible what you have done with the old world technology

[@paradiseroad6405]

...wonderful rifle...absolutely beautiful in it's simplicity...perfect in it's execution...

[@redsky8509]

another pair of very informative videos. thank you.

[@waltonsellers6941]

Hi! As a historian and an enthusiast of vintage firearms, I absolutely LOVE videos like this. I also appreciate your roots, because my maternal grandfather was from Kiel in Northern Germany. It's obvious that you love the Kipplauf.....so would I. One suggestion, if you don't mind? I know it's been done before, but I'd love to see you do a video with a pre-WWII Mauser in 7X57, which is also a pentultimate stalking rifle in its own right. I hunt deer with the 7X57 Chilean Mauser and the 6.5X55 Swedish Mauser in Louisiana and am continually fascinated by them...Please also do more reloading segments!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardt.4224]

Another great video, thank you.

[@wadejustanamerican1201]

Thank you sir, beautiful rifle.

[@Mountainmonths]

great video as always

[@IamN0-1]

That---- Is a work of art

[@ethanbaker6264]

Looking at the brass after fireforming is a satisfying feeling when it's been done right

[@MortalKombat033]

Black powder firearms are some of the most elegant and well thought out weapons in all of history.

[@johnstewart8849]

I have a JP Sauer & Sohn, Suhl.....32 semi-auto pistol made in September, 1939. A beautiful machine....many design features...deep finish.

[@jameshagerman7681]

There's something to be said for a beautifully built single shot rifle.

[@stevelavalette6898]

Gorgeous rifle !

[@joelopezjl28]

Cant wait to see you hunt with this

[@SB-qm5wg]

Great videos!

[@edwardswanzey7595]

Very nice video. Thank you!

[@Frank-bc8gg]

What a beautiful rifle and such a rich provenance, may the old hunter's soul rest in peace knowing his trusty rifle is in good hands and that it will continue to put meat on the table.

[@bnighter]

what a joy to watch and bet more fun to shoot.

[@adrianandrei9528]

Awesome, a rifle to be proud off. I hope that you will take it on a trip up in Matra.

[@Angus762]

I had a JP SAUER & Sohn .44 mag Western style single action revolver. Shot silhouette with it

[@wholeNwon]

A very light 20 b Sauer sxs from 1928 is my favorite pheasant gun. I have to carry a small brush with me because it's so precisely made that even the most minute bit of debris can keep the action from closing.

[@phillipsheridan7341]

I was lucky enough to find a similar rifle, made by "MYER" in Germany. Over and under or Cape gun 16guge over 9.5x60R Martini set triggers, rebound hammers, love to shoot this gun, extremely accurate. Have taken two deer with it. Keep up the good work and research great video's..

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

This is a interesting and fascinating rife.

[@M.M.83-U]

Beautifull rifle!

[@zmxl1020]

Fabulous video! Good hunting and enjoy the roasted wild boar!

[@seniorelzappo9919]

Elegant little piece...

[@ironstarofmordian7098]

Please take this little sweet heart hunting. That is a fine rifle. You sir are quite lucky.

[@matthewsmith2051]

Such a cool rifle I would love to have that on stand hear in the thick woods I hunt in southern Indiana!

[@henrysaka6402]

Saludos from Brazil ❤

[@chriswerb7482]

It is great that you can hunt with these lovely old rifles. In Scotland this would be impossible due a minimum muzzle velocity requirement of 2450fps. In England and Wales you could use this rifle, but you would still have to use a bullet designed to expand rather than the solid lead projectile you are using there.

[@hawkenrifles]

Un video muy bueno. Excelente. Saludos desde España

[@shijongeorge4247]

Beautiful gan . you are lucky man because that is your gun

[@bulldogblvd]

I cant explain why I find this channel so interesting, I just do. Can I suggest targets that change color when hit, would work better for the camera.

[@bullseyedixon5660]

EXCELLENT

[@douglasmaccullagh1267]

I really enjoy your black.powder cartridge videos. I have a 45-70 rifle, single shot break action, that I would like to shoot with black powder. However, I am concerned about cleaning the lock (center line exposed hammer) and latch mechanism properly. I would enjoy a video of how you clean your black powder cartridge rifles.

[@flyingninja1234]

That's a beautiful hunting rifle. I thought it was a double rifle at first.

[@theorthodoxredneck1887]

Exilent the job !

[@ethanbaker6264]

I have a side by side 58 caliber percussion Fowler made in Suhl marked ANDR. SCHILLING IN SUHL. It's cool to see more made there

[@ethanbaker6264]

I'm seeing some similarities in asthetics here too

[@dr.skitzo446]

Kedvenc chatornam!

[@Afro408]

That is a beautiful Kipplauf rifle and a joy to see. You are probably aware of what I am about to mention, but I noticed that the first time you fired it and found that it liked the 60gr load, it grouped in the centre of the target and you had the sun over your left shoulder. Then the second time you fire formed the cases, you were in the shade and it grouped left of centre ( which would be it's true zero ) and the last time the sun was on your right and the rifle grouped way to the left. This is caused by the ball type front sight bead only reflecting the light from one side and the shooter focusing on that bright spot. I learnt this years ago and use only flat faced beads which negates this problem. It could mean a miss or wounding at longer ranges.

[@shadetreemech290]

I didn't know that. I just learned something. And at my age that is saying something. Thanks.

[@Afro408]

@@shadetreemech290 No problem and it’s never too late to learn. 😉

[@dockmasterted]

Did you ever drift the sights to get it to hit where you are aiming my friend?

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

I’d love to own such a rifle.

[@pecospest]

I have a very similar one , by Christoph Funk in 9.3x72R, and I do take it hunting. The elegance of a Hahnkipplaufpirschbuechse is second to none. I kept smiling for all of the 18 minutes. My only recommendation would be to get rid of that anachronical rubber recoil pad and install the proper basketweave horn buttplate .

[@capandball]

9,3x72 is alo an elegant cartridge! Congratulations for that rifle. I am in process of getting some info about the butt pad.

[@tighay8693]

merci

[@MariusQusnerius]

Can you imagine how surprised was that fly at 15:37?

[@RhodeIslandWildlife]

Well done lad. I'm searching for the boar hunt next.

[@bloodmoon8832]

I would love to own a rifle like that

[@johnmcfaul7430]

Beautiful rifles. Well done. May I ask where you acquire the brass for the 11 mm?. The reason I ask is because I own a old Mauser rifle in that same caliber.

[@USAACbrat]

love german stalking rifles. try paper wrapped bullets.

[@bgurtek]

I've got a Borchardt in .40-70 SS. It's the new .40-70 SS made from .30-40 Krag, and uses the .408" nominal bullets. I've got cartridges loaded, but without bullets as I haven't cast any yet. (I guess I'm a lazy muzzleloading shooter.) I may need to get some bullets cast for it.

[@capandball]

:) Take your time. I often let a gun rest fot months before shooting it.

[@herbwag6456]

Excellent rifle and history! I have my father's J.P. Sauer & Sohn 1917 Gew.98 sporterized deer rifle brought back from WW2. Wish he had left it alone!

[@Riazor1370]

I though it is side by side break action double barrels. But the lock is for two firing pin & hammer obviously.

[@davidgoodbadandugly325]

Hello great video. Nice rifle. Only thing i noticed was a rubber butt pad ! Is this an add on? Thanks for making videos very interesting👍

[@capandball]

I think it is original, but will find out later with the Sauer guys.

[@wernersalzl1650]

M/71-me too!

[@nickgrnsted3871]

I think KZbin may have pulled a quick one on ya, the video is only up in 360p

[@capandball]

Some minutes and it will be Full HD as usual.

[@iduswelton9567]

I'd love to see a Mauser 13.5mm anti-tank rifle in action again- both tge first ww version and the 2nd ww version- when my godfather was alive he had both in his collection also the 11.5mm anti-material Mauser rifle used in WW2

[@u531spb]

замечательное ружье ... и ведущий молодец

[@Hrajnoga]

Wow it looks like new :-O Was it restored somehow ?

[@aaronbuckmaster7063]

Never assume fire formed cartridges are not accurate. Our original 264 Win Mag improved, developed in 1979, shoots more accurately when fire forming the case against a false shoulder to prevent the case from stretching. You just never know.

[@paulmanson253]

Just before the 14 minute point,you show the two types of fired cases. I am deeply puzzled. The original case has that bumpout of brass,the case head is is not flat. The new cases are of course flat,that is the universal standard. The once-fired new case base remained flat,the brass has not moved backwards despite whatever the considerable force of the test load is. So over time,does the case head deform ? Or does it remain flat ? I suppose the massive momentary load is transferred to the rifle by that portion of the rim in contact with steel. There is still that little air pocket with no brass in it . Someone with experience of firing this brass in this cartridge will enlighten me ? Thanks. Always a pleasure when a new episode shows up. Cheers.

[@acidwizzardbastard]

I assume that the old 11mm Mauser cartridges were simply shaped with the non-flat case heads. I doubt large amounts of shooting would misshape a case like that.

[@daveybass655]

That, is one sweet honey of a rifle !

[@c4tze]

i live just three km from their headquarters, with blaser next to it.

[@bendean4255]

I recently got a funk drilling 1880s 16g x16g x 11mm /43 Mauser. I found some old 11mm Mauser ammo in an auction new in box old stuff. Union metallic Corp (umc). Says 77 gr of powder and 380 grain bullet. Would this be safe to shoot in the drilling??? The 16ga fluid steel etch barrels are lined to shoot modern 28g shells. It is Sweet gun and I want to shoot the elephant killer 11mm but worried this is too strong round for gun. Gun is tight and of high quality but probably 1885-1890 mgfer.
