That was my friend Bernie Libratti. He passed about 5 years ago now and boy, did he have some odd stuff. I got him a 4 bore fowling double, back action Hammergun with 40” barrels and about 40 factory loads of no. 4 shot in 4 1/2” cases. Weighed 24 lbs and was the market gun for the Traymore hotel in Atlantic City.

I have been using overshot cards on the 3.5 inch tens because my crimper is set for 27/8. Just glue them in and shoot away

The fellow with the bandolier of brass shells and an odd costume was not my friend, Bernie Liberati.

I had the good fortune of meeting Jimmy Stahl at Sanford and talked with him some more at Hausemann's .

I heard a lot of Bernie stories from him as well as several from Tom Armbrust a year or so ago . Also heard some Bernie stories from Jent Mitchell back before Bernie left this world .

Just about every Remington 8 gauge hull I have seen has the two dents or bulges on the case head, which I always assumed were perhaps extract marks from the industrial guns. I have one case however which doesnt have the marks on them.
