He said changing any of them was always expensive and dangerous. Now I find myself...

Re: Ever leave a restaurant because of your waiter?
Really didn't answer your question. Yes, I would have left in a hurry! But no, I haven't had to make that choice because I'm pretty picky about how I choose where to stop. If I am out of my territory I usually go by how many pick-ups are in the parking lot and if they are clean or dirty. Motel stays...

How on earth can I pick just one? None are things that I would even think about getting her.

Re: Does anyone have a source for .348 Winchester ammo
Hey Fellers, starline should have some brass pretty soon. They show not in stock but you can order it. That usually means 2 or 3 weeks, if they aren't going to run some soon they won't let you buy it now. I've bought a lot of brass from them and they are first class fokes to deal with.... John

Hey Feller, from what I understand from a buddy who uses them they are super soft for cowboy compition, like 8 or 9 brinell and 850 to 900fps. I shoot a lot of lead cast bullets in my 357 carbines and can tell you that unless you have a real slick barrel that you need at least 16 brinell at 1600fps ...
