New to me mk 85... Need help!

Post by Skintbak » October 26th, 2014, 4:03 pm

I got a mk 85 and was wondering what powder,bullets, caps, tools, etc I need to get this project going. I acquired it from my father and he misplaced the manual along with his possibles bag with everything he used to use ( bullets, powder, caps, reloaders, etc), and he can't remember ..... Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

You have just hit the jackpot, you own a real peace of history. I would use 80 to 90 grains of Blackpowder and a 240 grain XTP. Your gun probably is set up to shoot number 11 caps, still easy to get.only one negative tape up the bottom of the scope or you will primer burn to the bottom of your scope.
