Thanks Chuck.  I’ve looked at the Sharpshooter website and was planning to try it when I can get brass made.  I’m still trying to get the combination to turn brass on the equipment I’ve got in the shop.  Straight-walled center fire brass is easy to make, but rimfire is quite a bit more difficult to make in any volume without a CNC lathe.  I’m working on making some of my own tooling for my turret lathe to solve it.  I already have the bullet molds and reloading dies for the 44 Henry. Mostly just have to find the time to work it all out.  

We need to get someone to give up some non Winchester/Henry cartridges.  I am not going to sacrifice any of mine.  Maybe if I had a UMC.

Chuck, 

When I get it figured out, I’ll send you some of mine if you can walk me through the California ammunition Iron Curtain.

The legal way is to send them to a FFL of my choice or bring them to a gun show where I could pick them up.  I would really appreciate that.

Is there anyone out there that would like to donate to the cause?  All we need are the cases even if they have firing pin indents.  Just today I was trying to figure out how I could get the priming compound out of some primers.  Maybe I will see if I can dissolve it out?  I’m thinking a shotgun type primer offset in the base.

Mark, I think a friend is going to give me 3 UMC rounds that have firing pin indents already.

Mark,

How is the maker of your molds and dies for the 44 Henry?

Sincerely,

Maverick
