Guilty as charged over here too.
I got a screaming closeout deal on a pile of 9.3x62 components so off went a 1934 vintage '03 Springfield sporter to JES to become a 9.3x62. It's now back and shooting great so far.
In the same deal I scored 400 Jamison .256 Newton cases. I've since acquired a set of custom dies (already had plenty of 6.5mm bullets on hand). I still have to pick the donner rifle for this one. I was kicking around a .256 Newton build with a buddy about 30 years ago, but never got around to it. Better late than never, I suppose.

Cheers,
Rex


And... did it again:
I've had a .375 H&H-length Mark X Whitworth action sitting in the closet for 20 years. Just the other day I scored a NOS Douglas M-98 threaded, short-chambered 375 H&H barrel for $100 shipped.
I immediately hit SPS for 200 300 grain Partition Blems and I have 100 cases coming in the mail. No telling when I'll ever get the rifle made, but I'll have ammo ready when I do!!
Cheers,
Rex
