Hallo Birdhunter, thank you for the reply, it really is good to hear from you...yes I really am driven to shoot these old rifles more frequently...I am purchasing a Martini Henry carbine shortly to use exclusively for the expedition next year....I am therefore asking around for any person who have extra brass to sell to acknowledge if willing to sell...I have received some contacts to approach in this regard but are looking around as well for any more possibilities...
