My "New To Me" Birthday Present

[treadhead1952]

Thanks TG,

It is always fun to make up your own projectiles, load 'em up into cartridges whether they be paper or brass and then send them down range.  Not to mention a whole lot less expensive!  I marvel at the prices the manufacturers ask for their products in the gun stores, sporting goods shops and even at gun shows.  The most expensive bullets that I cast are the hard lead rifle bullets I cast from purchased alloy from Rotometals.  I run them at what most consider modest velocities for cast lead rifle bullets, but even so they still are rifle cartridges and as such deserve considerable respect for what destructive abilities they harbor.  Yodel dogs and the wild porkers here abouts don't run once impacted, they just fold up and drop as it should be.  Sitting down at a bench and doing load development proves just how accurate the are in inch and under groups so I never feel under gunned out in the field with cast bullets.

Nice , lucky gun getting that leather too ...

had to look up Nanaimo Bars , Sir Charles 
to be sure I didn't live under a rock , I had not heard of the these ..Western Canada treat I see ...
not seen diagonally South across the the lower 48 

back to the point ... I have been infatuated with the 1860 since I was kid , riding the neighborhood range
holstering a Hubley....And I have collected 1860's most of my life...
and second only to the 60's are the 51 Navy.

Do you still have the Hubley? I still have some of my cap pistols of old.

Don't forget the 61 Navy.
