Earl, looking up Mammoth on Google, I see a marker for the "McKinney Cemetery" a couple of miles to the west of town. Surely these are your people?
My own grandparents had a ranch about 160 miles north of there from about 1910 to 1928, in the Tonto Basin.

FS: Wolf Ears cartridge belt, molds, dies, sizers
Have some goodies to rehome, the first being a brand new-40-loop cartridge belt from Wolf Ears in Laramie. It's three inches wide, with 40 loops and size medium, which fits from about a 34 to a 43-inch waist. The loops are sized for the .30-30, .32 Special, .30 and .32 Remington family of cartridges...

I agree with Doc that for the money the Lee is hard to beat. But the Redding felt to me like it would be in use a century from now.
