Oh you just have to do it Kurt !!! You wont regret it.
had mine out the other night doing some chamber measuring. Trying to decide which mould to get for it.
Probably time to trade up from one of your thunderboomers !!

Guys,
At 83, I am working on selling off the lifetime accumulations
of my gun show table partner for his two daughters. It is not easy to get fair prices for the stuff.
It makes me realize that I must get tough with myself and continue to try to sell off MY stuff, too.
So much of it just sits in my safes as well as filling a corner of the basement my wire calls "the Cave"
A lot of it is from ancient history that I do not shoot anymore.
Arnie
PS, I have some 30-40K brass from my table partner's stuff.
Maybe also some Hornady 405 brass

Arnie tell me more about that brass, I have a 1903 built krag that could use some more brass.
RE: Bore wipers - beltfed - 03-23-2025
Don,
sorry late getting back to you.
I need to inventory the Krag brass I have
on hand from my friend's estate. It is all separated by
headstamp.
Perhaps I have just the right brass for your 1903 Krag:
A quantity is headstamped "30 Arny" or ":30 USA" Clean.too
Even have some 30 USA Ball.
Will get back to you with more detail.
