    Thanks fror that Cyclops, I fully appreciate that this may be a lot of busy work for not much (if any) return and I have had a pretty minimalist approach in the past. These days the handloading is...

    Greetings again Micky, I see no reason why my No4 with my handloads in those DI 1942 cases can not be taken hunting on the 100th aniversery of their manufacture. Probably not by me though. Regards...
