grandpamac Mitchell's in dvk have or at least did have a Winchester 257r complete with a pile of cases, projectiles, factory ammo and dies. It looked hardly to have been used if your still itching.

Nice work. I am sure you could go out with pretty much any cartridge and kill deer as you do with your 223rems. I have just developed a load for my 243win shooting a 108gn ELD-M at 2877fps (22.4"...
