Got New Fix'ns

All set to try the New Hornady Brass and the Hornady bullets that I resized from .410 to .408,Yeeeehaaawwww!

Now if the Hollis gets out of the shop (firing pins draging on the primers when she opens) I'll be good to go!

Rusty, where are you getting the brass and bullets from? I still don't have my double yet but would like to get the brass and bullets supply up. I have the stuff on backorder from Grafs and Huntingtons and still no luck on acquisition.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Rusty,
I'm anxious to see how this works out for you.Mine also has .408 bores and a source of easy to get and inexpensive bullets sounds great.Good luck.

Bullets I bought the bullets directly from Hornady. The brass I purchased through a "Black Ops". Brass was smuggled into Houston by my pusher and I took posession of it at an undisclosed location in West University.

My load will be my usual 62 grains of RL-15 over a Federal 215 Mag Bench Rest primer and a Kynoch type filler wad.

Seriously, about the brass, I bought the brass for a friend who is a dealer and was doing some load development on a new double. He had some extra cases, which I purchased.

Glad to see you got your "fix". Amazing what lengths some men will go for a little piece of brass.....
