Hunting with the 1873 Winchester rifle 

That was awesome in 50 or 60 years from now your son will look back on days like this and appreciate them more than anything money can buy 👍.

A firearms expert , a collector , a hunter , a good shooter , a good dog owner , a good father , a hunter , a lover of his country , a good cook .... My God , he is almost everything I wish I were .

I wish the old ideal tools were still made... I have one complete for 45-70-500 that id love to get copied.

living the life :) beautiful video

Life is good, brother

Another top notch video. 👌 hopefully your family will follow in your footsteps. This is how the oldtimers did it. Thank you for a glimpse into our past. Can't wait to see you and your uberti 38 55 winchester go hunting. I'm thinking real hard about getting one of those. I'd like to see see some cast bullet and ballistic gel tests on the 38 55 if are so inclined to do so. Thanks again for all the great videos. I know you love what you do and so do I. Thank you oh so much.

Excellent video, levers are fantastic tools, nothing and I mean nothing carries like a Winchester model 94, first elk I dropped with a .32 Special happened so fast and flawless that I was hooked forever, was even better knowing the handload assembled under poor lighting in my garage using wheel weights and gas checks worked so well that the exit hole looked like something from a 30/06.

gotta love it. so awesome reloading out in the field with that old tool.

Iv never hunted with ammo iv made. That looks extremely cool to do. There is a R reverence for nature and the life of the animal when you hunt your own game.

Outstanding video as always. Particularly love the hunting videos and appreciate you sharing such special moments with us all!

That was a fabulous video sir. Thank you for sharing, and taking us on a wonderful journey.

This video was superb. You did a wonderful job.

i was so pleased with this video i looked up the word for it "kivalo" i hope that's right that's what google translate showed for excellent

I use beeswax and jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) oil. Why? It's very similar in composition to whale oil, which is what most people would have used back in the day. The ratio of wax to oil is generally dictated by the weather conditions. I find that it plays well with black powder and particularly Swiss, which is what I prefer to use for my rifles.

10:00 man's living his dream

I wish they made those tools today…

I share your interest in classic old firearms, and have an 1873 Winchester similar to yours. Why only 35 grains of Swiss FFFG instead of 40? Not enough room in the casing?

Mooi video,natuur perfeckt.😉

My father who passed a few years ago had one of these but sold it a long time ago and I wish he hadn't. He had the serial number written down. I looked it up: 1890. I remember how heavy it was as a kid. It was a 7 shot carbine with a sling swivel.

Nice repro rifle, very interesting to see you use the original loading tool. Does your son hunt with you? 🇬🇧

Assim rifle top.

Absolutely the finest video to show what hunting is all about, everything from reloading to eating the game in beautiful countryside, perfect.

The cowboy/frontiersman is a lost art. This channel brings it back.

I am almost speechless. This was the finest hunting video I have ever seen. Your country is so beautiful. Making fire, casting bullets, bagging a deer, hiking with your son, the aerial shots.....it was just outstanding! Thank you for making this.

In the Top 5 firearms channels on RU-vid. Realism, results, no fluff.

Beautiful country and thank you for sharing your hunt. There’s something very special about hunting with a lever action rifle in the mountains. I use my grandfather’s old Savage 99 in 303 Savage that he bought new in 1924. Also, I hunt in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. 👍

If more fathers would do this with their children , the world would be a better place . Thank you for this wonderful video , Balaz . 👍🏼

Your earlier videos with your 1873 is what originally attracted me to your channel. They even got me back into shooting as I had given it up for 45 years. I now own an 1873 like yours as well as an 1892 Rossi in stainless steel, both in .357 magnum. I even reload with an Ideal tool not unlike yours and it reminds me of tying my own flies for trout and salmon. Both the fly tying and the simple hand reloading I find to be as enjoyable, if not more so, than the shooting and fly casting itself. I still no longer hunt or fish as I had my day, actually many, many days in pursuit of game and gamefish and I am content to leave them alone to flourish now. I don’t harbor any animosity towards others that still go afield so long as they are respectful and I think your videos show what I mean when i say being respectful. Thanks for another enjoyable look at how peaceful and enjoyable hunting can be. Keep on keepin’ on.

Huntsman's salute! The times spent hunting and with your children are truly the most precious. Well and truly done, my friend.

Beautiful rifle. But I will never give up my 1892 in .44 WCF, that has been in the family since 1892. And has taken everything in Pennsylvania up to white-tailed deer. Always dependable even after 131 years. Just need a bit of TLC to keep going.

This is a great video. From making the ammunition to the taking of the deer. Then sharing a meal with your son and dog too. It does not get better than that.

Wow! Awesome hunt! A delicious meal! And a wonderful winter picnic with sight seeing to round it off!😃👏 I'll show this to my father. I've shown him your hunts before and he really liked your Red Stag hunt! He'll enjoy this for sure😄 Happy Sunday to ya good sir!👋

Awesome! First time I've seen anyone demonstrate the 'camp craft' of using one of the old reloading tools. I have a Winchester reloading tool, Pat. Oct 20th 1874, for my made in 1900, Marlin 'Safety' 1894 25-20Win Take Down. My Winchester model doesn't have the bullet mould or sizing hole like your Ideal model has.

Great video! I took my great grandfathers colt lightning out in 38 WCF a few years ago in Pennsylvanias rifle season. It felt good hunting with an old family heirloom.

Hungary is a beautiful place keep it safe from the Globalists! 🤝🇬🇧

that loading tool is awesome and puts the lee loader to shame.

This has got to be on of the all time greats of this channel! The perfect combination of historicity and good family vibes. God bless you and your family capandball!

Thank you for a beautiful video! Blessings to you and your family

I cannot and will not try to add to the comments about this superlative video. It is as close to perfect as one could hope for. Like others, I am not sure I shoot to reload or reload to shoot, but this video touches all the bases, right down to passing on some of what you have learned to the next generation. I wish I had had someone like you to mentor me when I was young enough to learn, but I am getting up there (71) and that time has more or less passed me by. So I will watch and enjoy your videos instead. Please keep them coming as your time permits.

What a great video ! You covered all the bases from interesting bullet making, shooting them then hunting with them and wrapping it all up with an idyllic meal in the forest with your son. What a lucky man you are and what a lucky boy your son is.

Gotta love a dog.

Beautiful movie as always (always makes me want to get my hunting licence). Out of curiosity, what's the silver tool called you used when hammering the meat? Even as a Hungarian I never seen one.

A friend of mine just got a replica Henry rifle for Civil War re-enacting chambered in .45 Colt. Not historically accurate, but easier to find than .44 rimfire. :) So far he's only used blanks in it, primed with 209 primers.

Respect for Your movies. History, firearm beauty, bushcraft... all in one! Priceless is view of You face after shooting! Good time for new movies. Sunday afternoon or evening is time for relax with Good Movie.

I started watching your channel because of your presentation of lesser known vintage firearms and stayed because of your hunting videos. The romantic, poetic way you present the hunt and being so respectful not only to the game but to the hunting ground itself is absolutely amazing. This is a far cry from most videos where the hunters are treating it all like an amusement and posing to photos as if they had just killed a T-Rex with their bare hands. You show that ,we the hunters, are merely part of the life cycle and not masters of Mother Nature. Also the quick history of the gun, preparation of the meat and finally you enjoying the fruits of the hunt with your family(including animals) is an icing on already incredible videos. Respect from Poland!

Nice shot that hit hard .food looked great .your boy I take it .when mine were small that's what we'd do hunt make lunch enjoy time and woods

I saw the colour case hardening in the opening seconds and pressed thumbs up.

In my opinion Winchester 1873 is the most beautiful firearm ever made but that's my opinion. Great hunt . I always enjoy game cooked by my wife Timea with Hungarian recipes. Darz bor 🌿

Magnífico!!!!!

Wonderful film highlighting family values and respect and appreciation for the shot animal and the environment. Thank you.

Best one yet, this made me remember my step dad. He loved to shoot and the outdoors. This video truly touched my heart and beautiful country. There is no greater artist than our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Thank you, brother 🙏

I have the same reloading tool for my 40-82. A really cool working piece and also a piece of history.

Another beautiful gem, Balasz!

I have the uberti version of this. Beautiful piece

Even the Model 1876 Winchester came with a bullet mold when you bought one. Reloading at the campfire was the way they did it. Thanks for demonstrating.

Thanks for sharing another outdoor adventure with us! These are my favorite, and the children with you will remember the experience for all time. Cheers!

Memories your son will look back on fondly. Cheers

Well done. I have use my Winchester 73 to take several whitetail deer using Buffalo Bore ammunition.

The wife, the kiddo & the pup know fine dining @capandball! Nice hunt!

Extraordinary well done video!

Your a good guy cap , my kids are all grown and gone from home now . I dream of sharing such things with grandchildren now ! I've been thinking of changing the rear sight on my 73 , witch sight manufacturer did you get yours from ?

I like this 1873 model rifle I would like to have one! Congratulations on your deer.Excellent shooting!I like they way you primitive way of starting the fire and casting the bullets and the powder charge.I like the way you prepared the deer! Also the time that you spent your son .He will have fond memories of this forever.David Back from Menifee co KY.

“:23 so it was destiny that bright you with the Winchester 73! Hope more Winchester videos come.

Absolutely beautiful work as ever. This is sure to be a memory your son cherishes all his life.

Cool video, its a joy watching you and your son! I am saddened that my country is banning the use of lead bullets for hunting by the spring of 2024. Copper is allowed, but this requires much higher casting temperatures than is reachable from a simple fire.

What a lovely video. I've always said that hunting videos/films should end at the dinner table. Or in this case at the camp fire.

Thanks for the great video.A good shot that brought the game down quickly and humanely. Nothing beats using traditional methods in the field and especially with your family that will make some memories that will last a lifetime.Looking forward for more in 2023 from Australia.

Those pistol caliber lever actions are great guns for hunting close in like that.

Давно слежу за вами!Вы молодец,и сына правильно приучаете.А стрелок вообще от Бога.

What everybody else said, I say too!! I can’t resist commenting on how the field reloading segment fills in the blanks in the original picture of the 1873 as part of a wilderness conquering system! Bravo!!

Another gold standard video. Thank you.

PLEASE scrape those onions & garlic off the cutting board with the BACK of the Opinel, rather than the fragile & easily bent fine edge!🙈😬

Another wonderful memory, my friend! May you make many more!

I just ate and.......you made me Hungry again 😋

Now you're talkin'! I have a new made one, but a saddle-ring carbine. I bought the only hand-loading-in-the-field kit available--- from Lee, but what I really wanted was one of those tools they used back in the day. I wish they still made them.

A masterpiece. Well done! 👍👍

I appreciate you always give thanks for the game and for it's life given. Great video showing a true sportsman from start to finish! 👍✝️🙏🙏

The way things are supposed to be ♥️

Fantastic video. I am so hungry now watching that amazing meat cook on the open fire.

Excellent video , wonderful rifle , i have my grandfather's model 99 .300 savage , its a treasured heirloom, he used to hunt in the white mountains of new Hampshire usa , they look very much like the mountains in you're video . Thanks for bringing us along.

All of your videos inspire me to try just a bit harder. Sincerely appreciated.

Hermoso video hermano, Saludos desde mexico.

So wonderful. I love following your voyage from firearm, and this time loading tool, to the stalk then taking of the game to your reverence for your kill. This is mostly lost here in America.

This video made me shed a tear. I dont know why but, I love your channel and the educational videos you make. You are one of the reasons I fell in love with hunting and became a Hunter in Serbia. Maybe one day I travel to Hungary for a hunting trip! Best regards to you and your family!

I have the same rifle and it is my favorite. It has been used mostly for Cowboy Action with black powder loads.

What a wonderful video! Beautiful scenery with seasoned venison cooked outdoors over an open fire. I found myself more interested in the handloading tool than in the rifle. It brought back childhood memories of reloading my father's cartridges, one of my chores. Many thanks for the video.

Just wow. What a blessing for your son. And what a joy to watch. Thank you.

FINALLY, someone reloads around the campfire casting bullets and using original tools of the era then hunts with the rounds. 44-40 is powerful enough in a 92 action but limited with the 73 toggle link unless 50-75 yrds. Late 80s early 90s my boys and I were able to do the same thing, I've hoped someone would bring back the experience, thanks. Are you watching 11bangbang?

The energy requirements for big game hunting in most of Europe leave some very capable cartridges behind, not the least of which is the 7.62×51r. I understand that the regulatory agencies are erring on the side of caution, but when a cartridge is known to be capable of cleanly killing large bears inside 150 meters, perhaps an exception could be made.

Muito bom o vídeo...parabéns foi boa a caçada...top demais

I have the 1873 and enjoy it the moment I pick it up. Watching you brought back fond memories of my son and I hunting enjoying gods gift of nature and companionship. Fresh air, family, atmosphere. Bravo 👏!

Really awesome to see the ideal reloading tool used! Good stuff and great hunt!

Fantastic video thanks for sharing with us 👍

Great documentary about the use of a rifle for hunting from beginning to the end. You are a very respectful hunter and a great maker of ducomentaries. I also like to effort you take to obtain the special tools for making ammunition in the wild. Nagyon tisztelem önt.

Amazing video honestly one of my favorites from you. This reminds my of my native American culture and practices passed from my father as I will one day pass to my sons and daughters. To all great hunters and family traditions around the world. 🤝

I still need to pick up one of these, they’re absolutely gorgeous and so historically significant. Once again, great video as always. I love how informative and entertaining they always are and the camera work is very good, plus the voiceover just brings it all together.

Excellente vidéo , Trés poétique

Perhaps your best video yet, Németh! Thank you for letting me come along.

I know that this kind of filming alone is so hard, but we would like to see more of this art! 🌿🌿

Fantastic. You don't upload often, but videos like these make the wait 100% worthwhile.
