Never messed with magnum primers but you might save a little powder by lightening the amount of powder to get the same velocity and felt recoil. Load some and compare to your standard cas load. I’ve swapped all of my spp for lpp and will use srp in my 45acp- 455 Webley and .38s. Not reloaded any for .38 yet but they work fine in my small primer .45 acp and Webley brass.

Rig S.A.S.S with 2 "LONE STAR" holsters one in cross draw for Remington, with security ,
cartridge belt "RANGER'S" with Méanea straps, for 45LC, clipped corner nickel plated buckle and conchos "lone star" from Tandy Leather,
all in natural leather 1st choice French, 3/3,5mm, vegetable tanning, lined with velvet cowhide

















 

Went back and read this again and one line really cracked me up.   "there were but four in our party, my brother Cal. You remember him. He was County Judge of Loup County for more than twenty years. Then there was another brother and a neighbor and myself"
There was another brother, boy if that does not speak volumes of a family dynamic, I do not know what does, a description and name of a brother who was a judge.  Now I want to know about another brother.

Yeah, it would be interesting to know which of the 6 other brothers was the "other brother" It looks as though one could eliminate John and Warren. Warren died in the 1850's and John apparently never left Pennsylvania. So that leaves Charles Marvin(Curtis), Charles Sherman (Ehem...yes John), Milton D, or Allen Willis Bennett Copp. If I had to guess I would guess it was Curtis Because it seems he and Grandfather Copp were close, but my second guess would be Charles, because he died in Saunder Co.

Morning all.

Currently 25. We got a total of about 4” of fresh white stuff yesterday and through the night. Supposed to be marginally sunny today.
