Thanks pappy , never messed with the 338 fed , no dies , brass , data...........actually lousy reasons for a gun looney .

Bottom line really like the 358 and prefer the 1885 over the number one , don't get me wrong , I was shooting bug eye groups with no. 1 in 223 this afternoon but as far a a walkabout rifle the short version 45/70 I have is better and I hope to duplicate that with the 24" low wall .

Also all I need is the donor , it will then go post haste to JES Reboring , Jesse will turn that around in a couple weeks . His work is excellent and quick.

If it runs true to form I already have tried and true loads 200g & 225 g nosler and Speer bullets over TAC .

I have roughly 60 days .
