Lowcountry83:
Hey guys. Here's 10 bullets I'm looking for at the moment. Looking for good dropped examples with nice patinas I will not want to upgrade later on. Not so picky with the rarest ones of course.
1. TT 25 - .44 Nesler

2. TT 66 - '42' Base Whitworth

3. TT 75b - 50 Gallager Spoke base

4. TT 97 - 52 Billinghurst

5. TT 121 - Ringtail sharps with cavity

6. TT 164b - Long Tom Greene

7. TT 179 - Tie Ring enfield

8. TT 191a - 69 Caliber Wide base

9. TT 195a - Extra high base French 

10. TT 196 - Lovell Base French

Thanks a lot.
Stephen

Jim T:
That's quite a list.  You should have no problem getting #3 or #4.  Item numbers 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 are occasionally found but will pricey.  #2 ... the one Dean acquired (dug locally here near Gettysburg) was the only one we ever saw.  #8 ... this was in Dean's collection also, an odd variation, so cannot guess if there are other specimens available.

Lowcountry83:
Thanks for the reply Jim. I didn't realize the '42' Whitworth was so rare. Do you have anymore info on that bullet? And I've seen a couple of the wide base .69s for sale. So I know they are out there as well. What do you think is the toughest bullet to acquire in the T&T handbook other than the lone Whitworth?

Jim T:
I don't think I can pick one specific bullet as the toughest to acquire.  Tough to acquire could mean that there are very few available, or to other folks, financial issues impact the acquisition process more than availability.  There are some bullets out there that can be had if you have the money...I just don't choose to spend that much for them...I'm an extreme cheapskate not generous and handsome like Mike Ward.  I'll list several that you don't run across often.......:
