Loved the Video, I do not own a 50-70 anything so I love living vicariously with someones elses 8 dollar a bullet gun.. But I have looked at other 50-70 guns. Was always stopped by the ammo costs.. So let me ask to all you that know..

So now after this test the Duelist will have 20 empty brass cases.. How much will it cost to reload that brass for then next 20 shots????

And thanks for showing this duelist, I love the look of those rounds..

Does the box tell the Muzzle Velocity of that round..???

And Just a total dumb Question, are the rounds so expensive new because the brass costs so much??? So Few made per year???
