That Markell ammo’s gotta have some collector interest, as well. Markell was a big supplier of practice reloads to California police departments and PPC competitors in the 1970s. Met the guy a time or two at California Combat Association PPC matches. Monterey SO Deputy Bob Fortier’s commercial reloads we’re better, though, as he used virgin Winchester brass and Speer HBWCs over 2.8 of Bullseye. Fortier’s reloads seemed about equal to Winchester Super Match factory ammo, the best available in those years.


Every day’s an adventure.
