aslo when i seen the tooth picks i thought that was neat but what is the purpose ? why not just seal the overshot wad in there ? perhaps more pressure than tooth picks ?

Neat stuff. Before Hammer Doubles came out with their pin fire hulls Ross Siefried had turned some out to shoot in his guns. Sure is fun to get these old guns back in service.

I think the guy is a little nutty. First, you put a over shot card on the powder, then the filler wad. He's not useing a OS or nitro card. it's a hard paper .125 card. Second, you're looseing that piece of brass holding the percussion cap every time you reload. There's got to be a better way. Maybe I didn't understand what they were saying but $38 is a ton of money for one shell.

Yes, they are kinda spendy! Eventually, I will acquire their kit for my 12mm pinfire revolver. All their products look top-notch, and I have been unable to find another source for pinfire cartridges. Cheers!
