Mine is a Farmingdale Shiloh Old Reliable with double-set triggers, low serial number, in .50-140 (.50 x 3 1/4). Mold my own 515 grain bullets and formerly loaded with 140 grains of FF black powder. I've switched to the bulk equivalent of Pyrodex. 3.25" .50 cal. brass is getting hard to find and runs about $4 per unloaded brass. Decades ago, it cost me $360.00, a wad back then. Now, they crowd $2,000.00 and I think they've quit chambering them in .50-140.
