    The horns of a dilemma

    So,I was given some .25 projectiles, along with 40 odd loaded 250 sav rounds.load data says 87grn sierra.bm2 and a ladder test of win 743.Name: IMG_20231123_101031.jpg Views: 264 Size: 4.00 MBName: IMG_20231123_104724.jpg Views: 279 Size: 3.97 MB
    I have pulled these and dumped the powder.
    Now normally I would pop the caps and start from scratch but in these times the Scots ancestry is saying reuse them,Murphy is like,"what can go wrong they're Winchester".
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    303 ammo from the 1950’s is still going bang
    They’ll be fine
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !
