Stumbled across this forum today when my "An application" app updated and gave me the choice of specific searches. My main interests lie in pre wwII military arms going back as far as the bess. Heavily involved with reloading and cast bullets, the more unusual the calibre, the more interesting it is to me. Have read a few posts and have recognized a few names from other forums I am a member of.
Look forward to joining in the discussions here.

Welcome to the forum, interesting to hear you found the forum via "An application" as well. Are you reloading for any large calibre rifles? (Over 10mm)

Only largish calibres at the moment are 45-70, 577-450 and 577 Snider. Hopefully in the next week or so I should be getting hold of a Swedish rolling block in 12.7mm.

I was curious because we have a Danish Snider I would like to start reloading for later this year so if I could find someone with similar sized loads it would be interesting.

It would be worth your while speaking to this outfit over in Denmark. I have had other kit off them and they were very helpful.

Glad I can form regular Snider brass for pennies compared to the cost of the Danish Snider brass. Nice variant though, not seen one over here.
