    FS Smith Brass - Barely Used

    I recently purchased a Smith Carbine as a package deal and with it came 198 barely used, if at all, brass tubes. I took measurements of the inner diameter which is approximately .5185 and the outer diameter which is approximately .657. I would like $415 shipped.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    How many grains of 3F powder will these tubes hold below the bullet bottom-out?

    Thanks,

    To be honest I have no idea. I am assuming they are the exact same tubes that Lodgewood is selling and they claim 30 grains.

    The powder chamber can always be made bigger to hold more powder, if need be. I bought a used Pietta Smith and it came with a number of these brass tubes. Mine hold 32 grains of Goex FFFg, to the base of the bullet.
