seafire ,its one of my favorites, have two just now haveing sold off the other 3, but the 86 and the high wall are the best shooting of the bunch I have had on hand, with the new xmp powder I don't even shoot black powder in them any more

I also have an 86 which only gets BP but I hardly ever get the time to shoot it anymore. I guess thats not so bad 'cuz cleaning that thing is like a 3 hour job. I keep hearing about some factory ammo being made but haven't seen any yet or tried it. Anyone have experience with the box loads?

Frank I have used some of the Old West Scounger stuff, seemed to work fine, it was just a little under sized in the chamber,but once fired and all I do now is neck size and it works great.

Thanks Dave. I had heard that Dave cumberland was moving his operation and was shut down for that purpose. I better give him a call. He usually attends the cannon shoot at the Simpson range which is the 21st and maybe I can get him to bring me some.
