Sad.that we may not have an American producer of black powder. Powder and caps seem to get harder to find each year locally for a long time with out driving a long way
When you have prostate cancer and the urologist says he wants to do a digital exam, It isn't your computer that's about to be inspected ;)
My cancer showed up on routine blood tests when my doctor was managing diabetes and suspected something else was going on too !
I was really lucky but...
A good question was asked about corrosive ammo.
Always assume milsurp ammo for these Mausers is going to be corrosive. The countries that produced the ammo for these rifles stopped producing it when their military stopped using bolt action rifles.
The soviets were using corrosive for longer...

Even in the 1990s it was not easy to find free lead in the suburban Atlanta area. Don't get discouraged guys. The lead you are considering will be amazing easy to work with. Those pallets in Birmingham are loaded with small strips of the lead making it really easy to get in your pots getting...

That Norinco 1911A1 is one of best kept secrets ever. I shot one and it was scary accurate for any 1911 pistol but I sure wasn't expecting it...... We were at the range trying to figure out why my buddies springfield 1911 kept stove piping when his other two 1911s using his same reloads...
