577 Snider
« on: May 03, 2019, 09:01:57 PM »
I happened into one of my local toy stores and they had a table piled full of a dead guy's reloading stuff.  I made a comment about three 20 rd bags of new (reformed) .577 Snider brass from Buffalo Arms on the table.  The old guy who works in the store was very helpful, offering to get me set up loading another expensive caliber.  He also pointed out a set of dies for the round on the table and the three Snider rifles in the rack behind the counter.  Never having been enamored with self abuse I passed on his offer.

If anyone coming to the grand muster needs any of this stuff let me know.

Did he have a set of wheels for it?

A Snyder would be a wonderful thing to have, but it's not on my "Must have" list(at the moment).

I wish there was a 577 Snider chamber reamer in my future.

If I didn't have to spend the money on things more boring and less fun then I'd love grab all of those loading supplies for my carbine. Unfortunately, I'm out of luck here. Hope someone who needs them is able to get them.

    Picked up their subaltern...dead!

    And the back blown out of 'is 'ead!  --- Rudyard Kipling  :o
