Pumpkin Carving with the BFR in 45-70

In the spirit of Halloween I decided to carve a pumpkin with the Magnum Research Big Framed Revolver, BFR, in .45-70. Thanks to Double Tap 300gr hollow point.

Well, my cycloptic Jack-O-Lantern might not win any contests but it was the most fun I have had carving a pumpkin.

By Hunter Elliott

I spent much of my youth involved with firearms and felt the call early on to the United States Marine Corps, following in my father's and his brother's footsteps. Just after high school I enlisted and felt most at home on the rifle range, where I qualified expert with several firearms and spent some time as a rifle coach to my fellow Marines. After being honorably discharged I continued teaching firearm safety, rifle and pistol marksmanship, and began teaching metallic cartridge reloading. In the late 1990s I became a life member to the National Rifle Association and worked with the Friends of the NRA. Around that time my father and I became involved with IDPA and competed together up until he passed away. I began reviewing firearms for publications in the mid 2000s and have been fortunate to make many friends in the industry. Continuing to improve my firearms skills and knowledge is a never ending journey in which we should all be committed. I am also credited as weapons master on a few independent films.

  1. After seeing the flame coming out of your barrel it seems that you should have had some slightly charred pumpkin for snacking.

    Good show!
