I cast a bunch of bullets and shot up most of them in load development or competition. Load development included a 40/60 WCF in a HighWall I bought in Tulsa 3 years ago. The barrel is less than stellar with pits and corrosion end to end, but distinct rifling. It shot a nice cloverleaf at 50 yards with 22g of 4198, the best of 6 loads. After 18 rounds there was zero leading, a pleasant surprise.  A bunch of bullets went down range at monthly silhouette matches at our gun club from my 32/20 lowwall. I started to gather parts for a 25 Hornet project. I bought the reamer from a guy on Accurateshooter.com, dies from CH4D(their last set!), a breechblock and firing pin from C Sharps, and some outstanding lumber from eBay. A receiver and a pistol grip lower tang with double set triggers came in a box marked “Lowwall parts” from Tulsa a year ago at a ridiculously low price that included 4 receivers, that many lower tangs, 4 or 5 tang sights, and more screws, springs, parts and pieces than I want to count. I need a barrel and probably some random small parts so I can start fitting things together. A Soule sight I bought from JKR here needed a base made to fit my Ballard Pacific so I whittled one out on the mill last week from a chunk of steel I had. I’m sure I’ve missed some other parts and pieces, but it’s been a time well spent since it all dealt with single shot rifles.
