    I'd think that reloading the one case would not be much, if any, worse than using a musket. Perhaps easier because you wouldn't have to deal with loading a fouled bore after a few shots.

      Tom,
      Just wanted to let you know that I did not win the rifle. Now since I know where to find brass for 58 rimfire I will be on the lookout for one. Thanks again for all your help!
      The cadet rifle sold on GB last night for 2,010.00 which went over my budget. I think I could have bidded 4,000.00 and the other bidder would have outbidded me 😂

        Better luck next time! But you are not going to find a cheap 1st Allin unless you blunder into one at a widow's yard sale for $125. You never did answer as to how far apart we were on my 3-band? I do have some flexibility and it's really not a bad looking gun at all. 99% of the people who saw it would not have a clue.

          I realize they are not cheap but then again it seems no firearm is cheap these days LOL. I figured 2000.00 would be the top dollar for that one being a Cadet, any higher would have just been a war between the other bidder and myself and his pockets were most likely deeper than mine. My problem is my pockets are deep but I have short arms
          I appreciate the offer on the 3 bander but I'd rather pass unless the pirate was Black Beard, with provenance of course LOL!!

            Fair enough - no harm, no foul.

            In fact, even with full disclosure, which WILL be given, a gun like that is best sold to a stranger.
