Old School Reloading

[doccash]

I enjoy playing around with black powder. I am not a competitive black powder shooter but like to think about the old westerners sitting around the campfire melting lead into bullets and reloading ammo with primitive tools. Buffalo hunters that shot a lot must have been masters of the craft. Dr.C.

That's a nice rifle and some nice accessories!

 

[Mike Armstrong]

Those cases look like .38-56. Or do I need my eyes recalibrated? Neat outfit; neat pic!

I like the scene in the Patriot where Mel Gibson is melting down the toy lead soldiers of his slain son to make balls to shoot at the British.

doccash, I suspect you've visited the Adobe Walls site. That's sacred ground to us Sharps shooters.
Neat country up on the Llano Estacado.

Yea, Old Mel was doing it bare handed and you could read the maker of the mold on the handle.

Doc, please excuse my ignorance: Is that a sizing or seating tool next to the powder can?

 

[doccash]

It sizes and seats both. Primes and deprimes as well. Dr.c
