Enjoyed reading the article very much. It was even fun reading the ads of all those old guns, scopes and accessories. I remember them all. Yeah, I really am that old.

Thanks for linkin' those articles, Randy (and everyone else)!
I enjoyed reading that!
I've sometimes wondered how well the brass frames (like I have on my .30-30) will hold up "in the long term", and what would the point of that metal stretching. This notion/concern has kinda been pushed aside. My best accuracy with the bullets I have typically happens a ways below the listed "max charge" in most reloading mauals, and I'm kinda thinking if the brass is okay for the .45-70, it should be plenty good for my .30 cal rifle.......
