I have a friend who owns an '86 in .33 WCF (which, I believe, was the most common chambering for this classic). Kinda neat story: when he was a kid, he used to borrow it from a widow lady in our small Upper Peninsula (Michigan) town during deer season. One season, he offered to buy it. Price: $10! (This was, perhaps, 50 years ago, still...)
The classic has been stored away for a while. I've been trying to talk him into putting the rifle back in business. I noticed this week that Midway has Lee .33 WCF dies, at normal Lee prices. I've also found a company that makes the old Hornady 200 gr. FP. Anybody have experience loading this old war horse...or using one, for that matter?
