Was able to pick up 10 pieces of used brass and several hard cast bullets for the rifle from Denny Hanel this week. He also gave me his favorite load ( 3.4 grains of Unique. Using a .22 Hornet shell holder... don't crimp the bullets... Today brought more interesting news, while visiting a good friend, Jim Wisner, he laughed when I told him of the rifle. He then proceeded to pull a Steven's 44 1/2 in the same caliber out of his gun vault! I tried to buy it off him, but he wouldn't sell it. He did say new brass was available... so, this might get a bit more interesting.
