Here's what I want to see produced:
.351 Winchester Self Loading brass, so I can trim the cases back a bit and feed my Winchester Model 1905 rifle in .35 Winchester Self Loading caliber.
.32 Rimfire, so I can try a few boxes in Marlin Model 1892 rifle.
.32 Long Colt made with heeled bullets. Winchester still makes the .32 Short Colt with a heeled bullet but it would be nice to have the slightly longer cartridge as well, to see if accuracy is enhanced. In the meantime, I'll continue to load my own .32 Long Colt ammo with heeled bullets.
Return of aerial flares in a variety of calibers: .38 Special, .308 Winchester, .30-06, .30-30, 9mm, .45 Auto, .44 Special, .45 Long Colt, .45-70 and perhaps a few other calibers. These are good to carry when in the wild, for emergency signalling.
A Seattle company made them years ago. I still have a few in .38 Special and .30-06. They're precious, no longer made, and part of my survival kit when I'm oot and aboot.
No. 10 and 11 percussion caps manufactured to be slightly elliptical, so they cling better to the nipple.
.45-70 shotshell, for the pocket while hunting. I used to make my own and carry a few when hunting in Idaho, in case I saw a grouse. Would make a good home-defense load for the Marlin 1895.
.38 and .41 riimfire shorts, loaded with black powder and heeled bullet, for all those Remington derringers, Forehand & Wadsworth, Hopkins & Allen and other vintage revolvers still in good shape.
.38 Special snubnose load, using a 135 to 140 gr., gaschecked, lead, semiwadcutter hollowpoint. Make it in both regular and +P loads. The 140 grain bullet would allow slightly higher velocities, while the gascheck would discourage leading from the pure lead bullet.
Offer the bullet as a component, so we reloaders can develop our own loads.
