Hello all,
Though I have reloaded jacketed ammo for my military rifles for the past eight years I am new to cast loading and shooting. A man in my church took me out today and let me shoot his 40-65 rolling block. After 50 rounds at seven different targets he proceeded to tell me that I was the first one to shoot it in two years and that he was letting me take it and keep it until I decided which direction I wanted to go with buffalo rifles. He then took me back to his house and handed me 100 loobed bullets, 150 cases ( including the ones I had just shot ), primers, dies, powder, and a velocity chart or that rifle with different powder bullet combo's. He told me that all I need to get is a crimping die. Needless to say I was overwhelmed with gratitude and can't wait to get to loading. I do have one question however. I do not have a case tumbler and will need to clean the inside of the cases. I do not doing them individually but need to know what kind of brush to get and what cleaning lube solutions to use. I'd appreciate any and all assistance. Am eager to learn. Thanks.
