Thanks Byron, that would be cool.

I saw some .220 Swift stuff in some of your photos, another Winchester oddball. Interestingly, it was developed at about the same time as the .348, and died just a few years later than the .348. Another "commercial failure" that has huge respect today, with a substantial cult following. And, oddly enough (or then again, probably not...) another one of my favorites. I even had a custom Ruger #1 built in that chambering, with a 28" Lilja barrel. Long range varmint zapper supreme... Here it is, with a loaded round shown next to the .223 for comparison. My load just breaks 3,800 fps with a 60 grain Hornady V-Max.
