   I often went into Tisdall's after school, early 70's. They just don't have shops like that anymore. It was like walking into 'Santa's Gun-Cave', not a stainless barrel in sight

   270 Gibbs is great in 24"+ barrel, will give .270Wby performance, but with more hassle - case forming is an arse, dies are easily obtainable. - More powder used per round - More recoil- - Case...
