I'm afraid I wouldn't take Bertram brass for free. Of the 20 I got, less than half were functional. The rest had off center flash holes, no/incomplete flash holes, thick rims, etc.....Horneber is the way to go. It's not like a guy needs 500 rounds of the stuff. I'd venture a guess that 100 cases would last most guys a long, long, time. Besides, if I'm going through the trouble of building a British, or Continental styled gun, then it's going to be chambered in a British or Continental cartridge. Were it a '74 Sharps, hey, a 45-120 would be great. Different strokes for different folks.
