James Lang 32 bore

[Double Trouble]

32 bore ? Dumb question - but isn't 25 bore closer to 577

[C.O.B.]

I believe it's a Black powder Express rifle or BPE. You can load smokeless powder in it as there is a conversion factor to substitute black powder for smokeless. A 750 gr bullet is one big chunk of lead no matter what the propellant is.

You're right, I use 24 gauge brass shotshells to make cases for my Snider.

Some days my old thinker doesn't work as well as it should. Old age is a high price to pay for maturity.
