Why not? Your gun was made for shooting them. I shoot them in my Traditions Frontier. It moves the .36 up to a varmit capable shooting. Have popped a couple of woodchucks with mine,

So, whats the price and is shipping included?

If this is just a post telling folks about your making bullets it is the wrong place. If it is about selling some or all of them, we need to know the price.
 
sorry i just wanted to show what i made this morning,,not ready to sell,,,maybe later

I was going to shoot the gun until I found out it was never shot, mint condition, inside the barrel still has blueing kinda hate to shoot it
 
Congrats on finding a sweet Seneca, been wanting one for forever, never had money when I found one, never found one when I had money. I still would shoot it, just me.

I have never understood this reasoning. What good is it if ya don't shoot it? Might as well just have pictures of guns if all ya wanta do is look at them.
 
I had an unfired .32 cherokee on my wall for years. One day I said,"well this is stupid, might as well shoot it". Glad I did. Just give in and shoot it, BTW those maxi's shoot great out of my Seneca.
 
i had one long ago and use it quite abit,,that maxi ball was deadly, shot squirrels, and a few deer with it, this was a very accrate shooting gun,,,stupid me i sold it in the early 90's

Having a beautiful gun like that and not shooting it, is like getting married to a beautiful girl and not going to bed with her.

That's just silly. Either shoot it or sell it and let someone enjoy it for what it was intended for. About 2 years ago I bought an unfired Win big Bore 94 in 375 Win. Well it ain't unfired anymore. I love that rifle. Shoots great and pretty to look at.
I had a 32 Cherokee that was fun to shoot but sold it. Many years ago I bought a .45 Seneca (early 70s) but like a dummy sold that too. I'd like to get my hands on a 36 or 45 Seneca or Cherokee now.
