Thankyou

Tank: You can't go wrong with the "SPG BP Cartridge Reloading Primer," by Mike Venturino and Steve Garbe. Second choice would be "Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the Old West," by Venturino.
Good luck on your journey. These guns are fascinating.

Cheers Bill ! will get a copy of both of those
Thanks !

I bought the book ''Shooting buffalo rifles of the old west '',much better than i expected very good ! thanks
Cheers Bill

I'm fond of that one, too. Glad you liked it!

If you have or will be getting a Browning 1885 BPCR than I suggest my book on the rifles titled Browning 1885 Black Powder Cartridge Rifle - 3rd Edition. For more details go to www.texas-mac.com.

BTW, due to an unexpected number of orders, I'm temporarily out of books but have a batch coming in early Jan., but you can still order now.

An excellent book on the Browning.

The black powder cartridge silhouette handbook by Croft Barker with chapters on sights,fouling control,bullets,and spotting scopes is a good read.
