Patrick,
All of my mail order goodies have arrived!
1. Jamison .43 Spanish brass 20pc
2. 3/8” brass rod
3. Bullets, 439" diameter, 370 grain, round nose from Lyman 439-186 mold, SPG lube, 50pc
4. 2Fg Goex black powder
5. LEE .43 Spanish reloading dies
6. Croft Barker book, Shooting the .43 Spanish Rolling Block
7. Leather oil dye for stock touchup
8. Thompsons Bore Butter and SPG Bullet Lube
I also have plenty of .357 brass and a small feed store syringe from the last time we wormed the dogs. I’ll have to check on the 30 carbine brass. I likely have some but just don’t recall for sure.
I’m getting very excited to shoot the old Rolling Block for the first time!!!
My usual shooting place up in the woods is probably well buried in snow by now so I may have to come up with a plan B. I don’t normally shoot at ranges but I know enough folks that do that I should be able to work something out as a guest.
If time allows I’ll slug the bore and try to get some updated pictures posted in the next couple days. My work schedule has been brutal lately so no promises.
Joel.
