I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall for those discussions. :)

Anthony would be the one to make the final decision, and I guarantee that of the alternatives presented by the "technical" guys, the one that is most likely to benefit the bottom line of the company would win his blessing. I've been in meetings like this at my former employer. The money always wins. Which is the way it has to be, because if the bottom line loses, you are out of business. Simple as that.

I might need to try a box of each offering.
Wish they'd also consider throwing in the .35Rem.

New Federal Ammo for Henry Levers

Henry just sent out an email announcing a new series of ammo called "Hammerdown" developed with Federal and Henry for lever action rifles. The .357 Mag has a 170 grain bullet at 1240 fps. Just announced so all calibers are "Currently Unavailable".

Yeah, I saw this earlier. This might be a good thing for new shooters or non handloaders. Just not in Ca., unfortunately.
