Or any reload below 7000psi - it would be a lot cheaper. Paul

I have been using Polywad Vintagers in my Damascus Syracuse Lefevers with no issues. My 'Plain Twist' Lifter barrels are with Mr. Bachelder for restoration. I would use the Vintagers with confidence in them, too. Cheers!

They wern't last I checked. Sure would be nice if someone would make BP shells for those of us too lazy to do it ourselves!

Pete, I saw these. I buy ammo from them for my 45-110 and 50-90 Sharps. The problem for me is the 2 1/2 chamber size. They only sell 2 3/4. They cater to the cowboy action crowd. Maybe I should suggest to them to think about our hobby?
