Little place in eastern Canada. Thought I cleaned out all the ones up here. Maybe now. Puts me at about 6000 caps. Hopefully see me through the ammo apocalypse.

Glad you found some let me know how those work as I have been tempted to buy some in the past. As it is right now I have about 5000K and about 40 plus lbs of BP

I am up to about 20 lbs or so. I wish I could get caps across the border but nope. Some shops here are trying to source from Europe to get some stock on the shelf.

Started on the horn powder measures yesterday. Got a 30gr done for the pistols and a 70gr almost done for the rifles. May make it 75gr. Then one left at 60gr. Drilling those is harder that one thinks. Those horns are tough. Ill post a pic when I get all three done

Smell of burning antler is not so nice either. Yes they are very tough stuff to drill.
