  1. Likewise Horace! Howya been mate? Thank you! I’ll check it out
  2. $6/per seems a little steep but I haven’t purchased any of this brass in a few years so maybe that’s now market rate.
  3. Hey @Cat Cummings SASS #1870L, thanks but I think those are going to be too short. This is for a Remington roller and the chamber is probably closer to 3.25”
  4. Anyone got 25-50 pieces laying about? New, fired, don’t matter.
  5. Y’all act like you forgot you could make a collect call from “come pick me up at…” and the receiving party would deny the call and just come get you. No quarter needed! 😝
  6. Hello ,  My name is Mike. I own a 45-90 hepburn. Have you ever used a large pistol primer instead of a large rifle primer???  Large rifle primers are hard to find.  What is your thoughts. Thank you. I live in whitefish, Montana

      Thank you Sir. Would like to know more about the hepburn. Maybe we could meet each other sometime to talk about the hepburns.  Is there any way you could send a picture of what you are talking about with the patch below the black powder?????   Thank you Sir

      It’s pretty easy. I paper patch my bullets using 8# airmail paper which is also known as  transparency paper. If you have a paper punch (or just use an empty brass case and punch it through the paper on a piece of rubber (or wood)you’ll wind up with a very thin circular disc of paper the size of your case diameter. You just put that into the bottom of your primed case before the powder drop. Might need to use a thin dowel or punch or whatever to get it to seat flat on the inside of the case. The idea behind it is not mine. Has been done for years in BPCR.  The concept is that the disc slows the primer spark into the powder charge and ignited the powder from the tea forward. This May in turn reduce the initial push of the primer on the bullet before the powder ignites. Some folks see it as unnecessary. Others claim they see a difference in vertical stringing at 1000yds. I haven’t noticed much of a difference but have been doing it long enough that changing up might be a mental thing for me when shooting. So I will likely keep doing it. You should hit me up sometime if you’re down this way or if there’s a range in between us. Happy to meet up sometime.
