Thanks guys, I appreciate the get-back. Yes, I think I'm going to have to roll my own from 50 Alaskan. I did find some of that and the dies, so I'll get after it.
As for the shoulder, I load mouse fanny burp loads with Trail Boss. This is supposed to be fun after all.
Cheers,

.50-95 ammo or brass
Howdy guys, hope all are well and avoiding the funk. I could not stand the strain and went ahead and ordered one of the Cimarron carbines chambered in .50-95. It would be nice to be able to shoot it!
