Winchester large pistol primer are marked "standard and magnum". I would be surprised if there is much difference in other brands.

Should come from the shooters' pockets; not the taxpayers.

That is quite the treasure right now. If only you can find the elusive ammo it takes, you'll be in business! :cool:

Make no mistake; it has a LOT of cash value.

You are a much better man than I am, but hey, it's the internet; we can be anyone we want to be, huh? I would be very concerned had I screwed this guy and know right now that I'm on his hit list.   Why heck, Dave! There's a million dollars in it; go out there and get him. :up:

That is what I thought, but I decided it would be good to ask before loading a bunch of them. The necks, so far, seem to have plenty of tension, and a loaded round works through the action of my rifle just fine. Thanks much for the quick response.

I really don't know much about them, but I have seen them both ways. That web puts me in mind of a, 1858 with a conversion cylinder installed.                                       Unless it has been rechambered, I know of three original chamberings: 44-40, 45 Colt, and 44 Remington. Could be the Remington. I do not know the dimensions of that cartridge. I don't think I've ever seen one.

I've never purchased any primed brass before, so I have a stupid question. Am I to assume this brass is correctly sized and ready to load, or should I take the decapper pin from my sizing die and size them first? I bought it from David if it matters. I didn't think to ask him at the time.

I'm interested in what you find out. That appears to be a nice presentation box it is in as well.

44-40?

It is an old, single action Remington Model 1875 revolver with the bore badly rusted. I expect it is still quite valuable. Thanks for sharing. I really like it.                                     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Model_1875   It appears to me to have the shorter and less common 5 3/4" barrel.

What legal basis does the Governer have to threaten the citizens of that state with a year in jail for operating a motor vehicle?   I do see his point, however. They were dumb enough to elect him; you couldn't expect much from their driving abilities.

Good luck finding 10.6mm Ordinance ammo! It would be cool to shoot if ammo were available.

I'd shoot some more groups with each load. Multiple groups with exact loadings will produce different results. I'd keep a special eye on the minimum load, as it looks very promising. As others have said, trying different seating lengths can produce some interesting results.   By the way, those groups are nothing to sneeze at! Good shooting. You should be proud.

NO!   I don't have to see a pierced primer to know one's coming.

.50 per round is rape for anything short of match grade ammunition in 223/556.

You've stated my feelings for LEOs much more succintly than I ever could have! :up:

It is obvious they do. Why else would they be riding around, shooting up random vehicles in hopes of killing this guy?   I am not attempting to take up for this guy. He has done wrong, and should be found and punished to the full extent of the law. From what I've seen so far, however, it looks to me like he fit right in with the LAPD. I doubt all of the facts of the incident which drove him to this will ever be brought to light.

I've seen a lot of new gun stores open in the past year or two. I do not expect many of them to still be open next year.

I have a black Labrador Retreiver with a brown nose, and no moles.

I'm with Dave. I've never been asked, so I either conceal well, or I don't look like a friendly face with which to converse.

I've renewed mine twice. However long that makes it.

I find it very telling that it took this for him to get his investigation reopened, and at least get the illusion of a fair hearing. Murder is wrong, but I'm not sure he is much worse than the people who fear him.

Murder is terrible, no matter who is the victim. That being said, someone tell me why a cop murdered is a greater tragedy than anyone else?

Instead of a gun ban, I believe a lot of this nonsense could be prevented if we as a country stopped promoting liberalism. :shrug:
