So far so good. Should have all the proper loading componants in by the end of the week or the first of next week.

From what you've found so far do they say originally if this cartridge was loaded with cast or jacketed projectiles ? In "Cartridges of the World" they claim my 10.75x65R Collath was originally loaded with a 205 grain cast bullet and BP . Without searching my notes seems to me with a 205 grain cast bullet I was using 16 grains of Unique and getting something like 1600-1800 FPS . I'd be interested to know your load and the velocity ����
