Hey folks....
Looking at possibly getting a Russian Berdan 2 rifle from royal tiger imports. This is one of the Ethiopian cache.
I'm thinking about this due to family ties... My grandpa was a Cossack and had this type of rifle on the frontier... I recall stories my dad told me of this rifle since I was a kid.
I know it's a BP only cartridge. Probably 1-20 cast or softer... Paper patch and grease cookies would also be on the plan.
Has anyone taken on such a project where you are forming the brass, paper patch boolits, and conjure up the mojo to see it thru?? Crazy? Pitfalls? Good idea?
Thanks for the thoughts from the peanut gallery!!
