Thanks to forum member "Swamp" who sized the brass for me, I was able to bring the old gal back to life. Shoots 58 cal centerfire. Brass is 24 gage shotshell sized with 577 Snider dies and trimmed. I was a bit apprehensive shooting a full load so I only used 22 gr of 2F under corn starch and a 570 musket ball. I'll work it up slowly.
