HD,

Seeing the pics of your grandpa's gun reminded me of a ong standing question about those brass casings. I assume they were for economy, as they could be reloaded over and over.

How they were used would be a useful chapter to include, I think.

After the fall of the iron curtain when many Russians came over they brought things to sell, tools mostly and a few hunting accessories. They were selling these boxer primed cases in cartons of 50. I wish I had bought some in 20g. They would go so well with my custom IZ18.
