I just came across this video of Larry Potterfield of Midway making some brass shells for a rare Parker 11 gauge. I thought it was of general interest:

Larry Potterfield is the MAN. He has already forgotten more than I will ever learn when it comes to firearms, gunsmithing and handloading.

Yes.

Very cool article about LP and the Midway USA business story in the most recent edition of the NRA magazine American Rifleman. Good stuff.

He is an American success story and a huge asset to the firearms / RKBA community.

Too funny, I was thinking the exact same thing as I watched and came back here to post that sentiment!

Thanks for posting this honestlou!

That's a lot of work to fire that gun, that said how long will that brass last? I have to assume quite a while with the powderpuff loads...
