I was still young when I got my first "wildcat," like Woodson the Varmint Hunter magazine poisoned my mind. Steve Timm contributed some of the toxins.
Started with the 22BR as I had a 98 Mauser action, right, and wasn't that impressed with the 22-250.
The BR is on it's third try and second barrel. I enjoy it.
On the list now, I have three rifles in "retirement" that are burnt out and needing a set-back:
1. 2506 to 257 Roberts AI
2. 243 to 6-250 40 degree
3. 221 Fireball (still goes, but someday toL Short-reamed with a 223 AI reamer to make a 221 FURball.

Just something about having things a hair different from the other guy without getting too radical.


Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
