In looking in my book, the serial date puts it at a 1953 mfg.

Well, well, if that is not a deep subject.
A brief inventory of what I use is listed below.
The pistol/rifle brass used is 45-90, 45-70, 38-55, 45 colt, 44-40, 38-40, 32-20 mostly Starline with some mix of RP, CBC, PMC, Winchester, etc.
The shotgun hulls, in gauges 10, 12, 16, 20, are brass, RMC, Winchester, CBC and plastic hulls are Winchester AA, Rem. STS and other odd mix.
The powder used is real BP, 1F to 3F or APP in similar grain size.
Fillers are cream of wheat, fiber wads, cork, paper milk carton and foam backer rod.
Primers are usually what I can get, magnum for a hotter spark.
Want more boom and smoke, use more black.
Want less recoil, then use more filler.
Always fill case, no air space.
Use a non-petroleum lube like Ballistol and SPG.
Do I anneal? Yes, by the salt bath method.
Want less blowback? Then anneal.
The BEST combination?
Yes....................and have fun!

A couple of years back I bought a pair of revolvers and a rifle from a pard in South Carolina. I live in Oregon. He sent the pkg. registered next day to me via USPS. He received the pkg. the next day and refused it because it was to be sent to me, not him! Oops, their mistake so back to the facility it went and 8 days later it arrived in the next town to me where it was noted that the pkg. was refused and was sent back to South Carolina! Remember that it was originally sent to the wrong address first.
11 days later it was finally received by my FFL. 3 trips across country and 3.5 weeks later I finally got the revolvers.
He sent the rifle to me the same day and I received it within 5 days. Go figure!!!

Track of the Wolf has different size wads for various inside diameter differences. Check what dia. wad you need. You may need a smaller dia. wad for the thicker paper case sides. My federal paper takes a smaller size wad than a 12 gauge size for plastic. Larger number equals smaller dia. Have fun, BP is a hoot!

The Whitney Portal area is a great place with lots of memories for me. I spent a lot of time climbing and hiking that area since the 1970's. I have been to the top of Whitney 3 times, 2 in winter by the mountaineers route and once in summer by the East Face, never up the trail, only down it. Maybe someday again.
