13 boxes seems unlucky, you can send the front left to me!

Nice score!

I found 2 more boxes. Some of those old red Winchester boxes may have never been opened. I will have them scattered around the house collecting dust in no time.

Cool !


Way back in my youth , there was a older gentleman that carried a 405 Win. He was part of the deer camp group my Dad and Grandfather attended in the NW end of the UP here in Michigan.

They used to razz him about putting lip stick on the bullet ,so he could watch it in flight ! Haha !

They may be slow but once it gets there, it is like getting hit with a loaded grain truck. "Big Medicine"!

That was my understanding also. This was big timber/cedar swamp hunting,so shots was pretty close. Your ammo post sparked a cool old memory for me . It would have been 38 years ago since I met him.
Thank you Sir !

Can I have dibs on your brass?


They will vote our way into socialism, We will have to shoot our way out.

Every major horror in the world was perpetrated in the name of altruism.

Just how big is Aroostook County you ask?
