Ron I served in the Air Force 1972 - 1982 10 years.

I saw 7X61 in the title and almost fell over, thank you so much for the shoutout for an almost unheard of cartridge. I inherited mine when dad passed, a Schultz & Larsen M60, going on 50yrs ago and it is a sentimental favorite.

I have the same rifle.

I wound up acquiring about 20 boxes of factory loaded Norma 7x61 S&H a couple years ago. I’ve been thinking about getting a rifle for it, they seem to be easier to find than brass and I have plenty of that to last a while.

FYI, from the ATF website: Is a person who reloads ammunition required to be licensed as a manufacturer? Yes, if the person engages in the business of selling or distributing reloads for the purpose of livelihood and profit. No, if the person reloads only for personal use. [18 U.S.C. 922(a) and 923(a); 27 CFR 478.41]

Ron in regards to shooting the beast 12 gauge. That's what I started to hunt with back in 1972 at the tender age of 12. I bought my first Shotgun in 1976 a Winchester 1200 in 12 gauge 2 3/4 in chamber. My Father said I didn't need a 3 inch chamber .I later found out that his Shotgun had a 3" chamber Can't out do Dad ! lol😊. This past year marked 52 years of hunting for me. I mostly used a 20 gauge and once in a while a 16 gauge which I have high regards for. I didn't fire my old Winchester model 1200 . I wish I should have maybe in 2025.

Great podcast, Mr Spomer! The 7x61 S&H Super is still popular across Scandinavia and it ranks together with the 308 and 358 Norma as a popular local alternative to our chamberings with hunters in those countries even now. I doubt that I'll ever have the money to do this, but my ideal custom rifle battery would be one each in 7x61 Sharpe and Hart Super, 308 Norma, 358 Norma and the wildcat 8x57 Kvale from the designer of the original Norma belted magnums. As I recall from long ago, Norma also designed other rounds based on necking the 7x61 case but they died even in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. I wonder if you had any experience with those? Good hunting, sir!

Reloader here, if your loading for a friend just make sure you load to SAMi minimum specifications unless your testing the gun your self…. My two cents….

[@stevendonnalammar4422]

[@jasonwebb4871]

Re: loading and selling ammo, I’d look at your local laws….where we are you have to have a license to sell. Take a look at business requirements.

"Modular gun" yeah, anyone can mess around with it and make the mistake of thinking they are a gunsmith.
