I'm surprised I don't have any of the " Winchester western wildcat " 22 ammo .I remember it being , a white box with a sketch of a wildcat in blue . I shot a lot of that through the years .

my reloading stickers took away from the cool old boxes . the prices are next to unbelievable .

the old cleaning rod was in the bottom of my Grandfathers gun cabinet when I was given it . it is really bowed bad . the cloth wrap on it is at a threaded coupler . I'm not sure if the coupler is bad , or if it was to protect the barrel from being scuffed because of how bowed the rod...

one more Fellas .

and an old wooden cleaning rod .

and for you fly fishermen . Richardsons' chest carried fly box was world known . I grew up about a mile away from his store . I don't know his correct name , everyone called him " chirp . "

I've been doing spring cleaning . I'm now trying to get my spare room organized . I came across old ammo . I enjoy seeing the old boxes you guys post so here is my old stuff .

with a partition bullet I wouldn't go to that much jump right away . since you were loading .008 jump , I'd go .015 , .020 , .025 jump . my experience with partitions is they like to be fairly close to the lands .

9* this morning . the gobblers will be wearing long Johns . ;)

@NYDAN , I went through this too , trying to figure out how much I wanted to lengthen the throat on my grandsons 260 . all my info is in this thread . https://forum.nosler.com/threads/throating-the-one-i-couldnt-pass-up-part-2.39051/

if you wanted to try something ; empty the tumbler of corncob , and put some sand in it . sand would be gritty and would " PROBABLY " scrub the molly off . then go back to the corncob and polish them . only do a few until you see . keep in mind sand is heavy , don't overload the tumbler...

your Lyman book is the one that came with my reloading set up . I started reloading in 1978 at age 16 . Santa brought me the Lyman starter kit for Christmas . it's been a life long Hobby , for me .

that's a pretty nice travel corridor .

another vote for Tikka . I don't think I've ever heard of one that doesn't shoot great right out of the box . I've only been around one Browning . it's a lefty X - bolt . it does shoot well , the barrel is smooth , it's an all around nice rifle .
