I know they're in stock at powder Valley. in fact, i have a bag in my shopping cart. But I need to know I can get dies first and am trying to find used dies.

right -- i saw that. I'm partial to brass, not nickel.

i have a backorder with them. same with the other dealers. must be a run on .32-20!

Well, I picked up a pretty Model 92 in .32-20 recently and would like to shoot it a little. Problem is, no one seems to carry loaded ammo and I don't feel like buying online and paying hazmat for 50 rounds... So I thought I'd post this and see if there's anyone with a handful of brass and/or a...

My experience too!

Nice! A family treasure.

pretty stock -- did he do that too? Is it laminated pistol grip and cheekpiece on original military stock? Well done.

In one of those early photos, the dogs not only have the chairs and couches all filled up, they also have a TV remote right there by their paw. Now THAT'S going a little too far. I'd say they're spoiled.

Can you find good quality 7X57 brass? That's the parent case. Necking down from .284 to .257 should not be ann issue, although the length might grow a little.

Unless you're shooting off the bench next door, and especially if the 50 has a muzzle brake! I was once shooting off the bench next to a braked .300 win mag, and the blast was blowing stuff off my bench. Imagine what a braked 50 BMG would do!!

I lived in East Africa for several years in the early seventies, and did my first safaris with a 7 mm Rem. magnum. i had hunted with it in California and knew it would reach out and knock things down, so was happy with it until i began to shoot Cape Buffalo. For that i was fortunate to find a...

That surprised me too!
