Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Best bet is to get cases from Starline, buy or get mold for casting proper diameter, whatever powder trips your trigger (I like Black) and start reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Morningwood Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 What Yellowhouse Sam said. He's gonna have to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I don’t know what gun you would be loading for, but if it is an original Springfield or Rolling Block, be aware that the bore diameter on these old 50-70s can be quite large. Shooting the modern, smaller diameter bullets in them can lead to heavy leading of the bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It's really easy to load and you can get the components cheaper than buying factory. I sold my sharps a few years ago but I may still have some brass and lead. I'll check and let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowrustler Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yes, there's no big deal about loading these. I load for Sharps, Springfields, and Remingtons. Get the brass, get the mold, get the black powder. I usually load du-plex just because it's easier, cowrustler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
