My father gave me a rifle a while back:
John Wayne Commemorative
Unfortunately, he stored it in a case in the attic along with the leather saddle tie (?), and one side of the rifle rusted to the point of pitting. It's not horrible, but it's (probably) bad enough to make it a shooter instead of a collectable.
If that's the case, there's no time like the present to take it to the range
Unfortunately for me, it's chambered in 32-40; commercial ammo is almost non-existent, and reloading info seems to be pretty scarce. Oh yeah, and the brass is also pretty difficult to find.
Lol
So, is this a cartridge worth reloading? Is it going to be a good shooter? I've read some good things about this caliber, and I know I can form my own brass from 30-30(?), bit is it really worth the trouble if I'm not into cowboy action shooting?
Thanks!
