The difference in price for my order would be due to the WI sales tax.
Going to Recob's website, they show the DR-16 as being out of stock. Did they maybe fill those orders they already had, a ... |

Thanks! All I have that I could send you in return, if you're interested, are 210 old Federal Game loads. All appear to be once fired and in good condition, but they're old enough to all have brass ... |

Mine breaks down to $207 a case. Difference could be where they're going. |

Here's the recipe I've posted here before. And with DR-16's on the way, I'll be able to it again. Tested by Tom Armbrust several years ago:

By 1942, all the American gun companies were chambering their 16s at 2 3/4". I think Elsie was about the last to change. I'll certainly defer to the opinion of those with experience with Elsies ... |

Assuming I can find the right wads given no DR16's. Someone suggested Gulandi?

It appears that some Alliant powders are beginning to show up. Mostly 1 pounders. $50 for both 20/28 and Green Dot at a local gun shop yesterday. I have enough of both that I'm not that desperate. |

That's a very good price. I don't think I've seen any Alliant 8#ers priced that low in quite some time. |

A lot of us went the cutout disc route before the DR-16 came along. I think most of us determined that cereal was better. I liked Quaker Puffed Wheat or Puffed Rice. I remembered them avertising ba ... |

Modifying the above post slightly: I'll take either the old (purple) or the new (black) Herters in exchange for the 2 1/2" hulls previously listed. Thanks. |
