Here's a box of bullets I've never seen or heard of! It's made by Tobe Watkins, who was a very good schuetzen shooter in the Davenport Iowa area in the early 1900's. Cast from a Pope mold for the .32-40! Full box too!

Are they lubed or do they recommend hand lubing with waterpump grease? Nice pickup.

How 'bout a photo or two of the boolit itself. I'd like to see one.

Interesting old box, but I'm wondering how three months ago, on June 9th, the box was empty, and now, somehow, it's full. Hmm... :popcorn:
