If we don't set some of these things aside what will the
people who come after us learn about the past and
pass on to the next people who come along. Sure, some of these things - but I see collectors with ungodly piles of stuff. I also see enthusiasts who would like to experience what their forebears experienced but can't because all the stuff is wrapped away in collections or headed that way.

Willy Joe Jim Buck NEEDS those 214 boxes of Kleanbore 32 Rem... for his model 14 that hasn't been fired since 1971 😏😉 My old man is like that... it's gonna be an absolute disaster whenever he finally kicks the bucket.

IMO Remington did their typical foot shot by stopping loading the round nose 180 grain Core-Lokt for the .300 Savage. It is still offered in the .308 and .30-06 and is/was the preferred whitetail bullet of lots of Midwest deer camps. I still have 5 of those left for my Savage and the last deer that I shot with that cartridge and bullet fell over like a bunny rabbit. I suppose with that shorter .300 Savage neck, holding a 150 grain bullet is easier, but lots of us never had a problem with those Remington 180's and Federal still loads a 180 for that round. 150's don't always give complete penetration on a deer, but we have yet to stop one of those 180's in any deer or pig in my case and always left a great blood trail if the animal ran. No small thing in our crowded WI. deer woods.
My other auto is a .45
