[Adam Helmer]

Old Scout,

The old militaries are a blast to shoot. I bought a 7x57mm Rolling Block from Ye Olde Hunter in 1961 for 87 cents per pound. The gun has a mint bore and VG exterior and loves my 168 grain RN cast bullets and a dose of Unique. I need brass and dies for the 8mm Kropatchack, the 11MM Gras.

I just ordered a set of RCBS dies and shell holder from Huntington along with 100 rounds of brass for the 8MM Lebel. I have a mint 1916 Carbine and an 07/15 rifle for treks over the farm with my 215 grain Lyman #323471 semi-spitzer hard cast bullet. Ah, did someone say Beau Gest?
