The satin sheets are a nice touch also...... wink


Thanks - yes I had been wanting a .30-40 for a few years, mostly to see what the cartridge will do in a strong action. That one came up a few months ago and I decided to bite the bullet. It cost me the list price for it, but I think it should hold it's value - as long as a pig don't eat it, or something. smile

The .45-70 above seems to be an excellent shooter with stout charges of H4198 behind a 300TTSX. So far they are running about 2250 fps. Hopefully I can nudge it up to 2350-2400 fps.

There's a prewarning .375 on the way to me, with some nice wood, too, which is not common on .375's.
