    Vintage brass

    Pictures tell it all. They say nitro but I load them with black powder.

    I like the Rigby case!
    I don't have one of those.

    I wish I had more of the old British cases. My Hornady brass is great but has no nostalgia.

    These days, sourcing the correct Berdan primers can be a limiting factor too. Some modify original cases to take shotgun primers or sleeve the pocket and remove the anvil to accept boxer primers - of course these options sort of detract from the nostalgia a bit too.

    I have a few of those CCC cases in .43Spanish. Most likely got them in the 70’s. James
