Have some I can sell.
I have some new brass and some used still in great shape. Could also bring you some bullets..

As for load data I load mine with FF, load about 35 to 40 grns only then use cards ontop the powder.
Im using a Lee hand loader for them, I prep all my brass and when I hit the range I carry the hand loader with dies and tray.
Can use the Lee dippers for powder, add cards or filler then bullet and seat.

Im not one to leave BP cases loaded as you are never sure the next time they will be used them.
It is easy and fun to load 10 and shoot then load some more. Do not fire a trapdoor with an air gap on the powder ever..... High pressures will do damage.



As for lube I found the load and shoot I like using the same lube for my musket and just dip them.
dip before and load or as you are ready to shoot and just nose dip.

Used alox also but cleaning is hard.

Also just remembered there may be an extra set of dies in the shop, I will look, finding them is another thing.
