I think all my cartridges are "obsolete." They seem to work somehow, though, and I'm not about to stop using them. Maybe one day I'll acquire something that isn't obsolete.

Really, though...the headstamp is the least important part of the equation. What counts is: what bullet it is, how fast it is going, and where it hits.

Long live the .30-30 and the .45-70. They have their place.


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
