I actually got really lucky today.

Guy called me up wanting to sell a bunch of ammo. Went and looked at it and turns out there was 10 boxes of 348 Winchester ammo in the lot..oh and a box of once fired Peters . Nice box too. The ammo was mostly the 348 that Winchester loaded when Browning made the Copy of the Winchester M-71 back a few years ago. Got 8 boxes of that which is 200 gr Win Silvertips....the other two were a box of Rem 200 gr and the other was the one I was really lookin for..250 gr Win Silvertips...long discontinued. 348 is very hard to find these days. All told I got 50 boxes total.. The rest was pretty much standard fare..but did get one box of 222 Rem Mag.. I also found a lb of Reloader 22..finally. Fellow also offered me a Remngton R-1 Stainless enhanced as they call it..adj night sights etc etc. Wholesale on it is about 780..he wanted 800. Think I will buy it. I love 45s..well....1911s anyway. And since I have an old Rem 722 in 300 Savage..I am going to send it out and have it re-barreled in 250-3000 Ackley Improved..Going to do a 24 or 25 inch.. I know...duh!!
