Any of you single shot fanatics shooting the Lovell, or a 25-20 Stevens for that matter, there's 50 loaded G&H rounds for sale CHEAP on Gunbroker.

Not mine - no interest. Just a heads-up. This can be annealed and expanded into .25-20.

It won't last at that price, some profit-minded dealer will snap it up to resell at 3x the price.

Wow, they really sneaked through! The buyer got a super deal and the seller, for whatever reason, left a bunch of money in the table!

I looked when you posted on the ASSRA forum, Phil, and noted the superb bargain they represented. I was sooooo tempted to hit the "buy it now" button but I refrained, hoping someone who really needed the brass would get it. I have around half-a-thousand pieces of R2/.25-20SS brass + the capability of making more from .223 brass so I figure I'm pretty well set (for a few days at least).

I had to restrain myself, too. Old instincts die hard.

But I see the need out there - I still get requests for my tutorial on making it from .223 every couple of months.

A former son-in-law recently acquired a Stevens 44? in 25-20 SS and is looking for some brass. I told him I'd heard that it could be made from 223 but wasn't sure about the exact process. Where would one look for a tutorial?

Just send me your email addy via P/M. One of my "disciples" made a video that's on the forum somewhere, too.
