Re: .50-95 ammo or brass

Thanks guys, I appreciate the get-back. Yes, I think I'm going to have to roll my own from 50 Alaskan. I did find some of that and the dies, so I'll get after it.

As for the shoulder, I load mouse fanny burp loads with Trail Boss. This is supposed to be fun after all. :wink:

.50-95 ammo or brass
