RollingHome,
Yeah, you might not be able to shoot it, but just think of the history of that gun! Your Uncle using it WW1, defending our country, your Dad & Uncle using to hunt with. If it could only talk, the stories it could tell! That gun deserves it's honored place on the wall to be admired, and loved.
For the reloaders out there, a great source of bullets it the bullet maker. Usually they have a second store at their plant, and sell them at a reduced price. Serria Bullets has a plant in Sedalia, Mo., it's about 1 1/2 hr. from me & I go there all the time enroute to my little piece of Heaven. I've used their bullets for years. They tell me that the ballistics aren't affected, that usually they are just off color, or some other minor defect. I've used them for several years and never had a problem, unless it's been my shooting. They also have a 300 meter underground range under the plant. They have people that do nothing but shoot all day...and get paid for it! Then some of them go home & shoot in competition! That's someone who loves their job! Almost be like the mail man who goes for a hike on his day off!
