Been watching for a spell. Couldn't ever "pull the trigger" on one as each time I would see another that looked better or cheaper at auction. This one made by Ranson. I see alot of them are Zoli's. Is there a big difference? Bought it strictly as a shooter, I believe in shooting them, not hanging in the wall to sell later and make a profit on. Want to have fun with it.

This one is rifled, two band repro. Any preferences on bullet weight. Have not bought a mould yet, but I do cast everything I shoot, both smokeless and black powder. Will watch for one now.

TIA,
Okie out
