348 Winchester..I normally don't complain....
USRAC is cataloging Model 71's according to their website. I clicked over to the ammo section and guess what? No 348!
I know another reload proposition. It would be nice to be able to buy off the shelf stuff without a second mortgage.
For some reason I'm drawn to 'weirdness", 500 Linebaugh, 348 Winchester, 405 Winchester.
Well, at least with the .348 and the .500 Linebaugh
you can do double duty when you buy brass. I'm sitting on a good bit of .348 brass from my Winchester 71 days (for which I blame Jim Taylor's articles). Haven't had a 71 in a good while, but then I wound up with a .500 Linebaugh, so I kept the brass. Then I sold said .500 because of my tendonitis, so I thought of selling the brass. Then I wound up with a .50 Special, and was glad I kept the brass. Then I found a guy with 400 pieces of .50 Special brass, and thought of selling the .348 brass. I figure if I dally long enough, I just might walk up on a deal on another Model 71....
Also have a custom bullet mold I bought for my 71, but sold before the very LONG group buy mold was delivered. :)

Well we have much in common. I always seem to be one move behind being right about selling/buying/keeping!
That is as good an example of this disease as I've read...

If my wife were to ever......
.....discover the parts and accesories for firearms I no longer own, have never owned, and may never own, I would be looking forward to a year or two in the dog house....that I don't own either.
Let me know if your doghouse is a double wide ;)

As my wife has been cleaning out her hoards of things she's
been casting an eye at my stuff...
