! Well in disbelief i showed my buddy that was with me that day, and he said that has to be a fluke, so he loaded up his Ruger and the same thing happened. I contacted Winchester the next day and was fumed by the responce on the phone.....Well sir, ship us the cases and ammo, and we'll send you a voucher for a box to replace that 
. I said, Hell no! I just paid $20 bucks for a box of ammo and you want this shipped on my dime......And he said...Well yes sir, you are the one with the complaint and we don't know if it's an actual problem or if you are "unsure" what is happening.... Ok, i held my composure and only said a few more words (four letter) and hung up. . But, the best part was the supervisor saying he WILL take care of me and make sure i am, and will continue to be a Winchester customer. The next day was Saturday, and i had a case of Winchester ball ammo and another box with a hat, shirt, sweat shirt, and a coffee mug . . And yes, i did write a letter in appreciation .

Got a mate who set me up nicely with his 45.70. He loaded up a quantity of different loads, from 250gn to 500gn bullets and said here ya go, try these. Now me being a macho ex Infantry SGT said sure, not a problem, easy. Took 2 weeks for the bruises to disappear from my shoulder after the 500's!! Bastard. I'll stick to my Winchester Mod 94 in, yep, you got it 30.30, and my Weatherby .243. They'll handle anything that "half a housebrick" thrown by a crowbar can, and with more finesse. Cheers, Vince |
Yep he got wacked in the eye with the scope. He handed me my gun and has never wanted to shoot it again. I have found it fun to shoot, after I learned to roll with the punch, so to speak........

I can't remember whether the rifle was a Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 10:37 pm The reason being that it takes more force to move the heavier fellows then the lighter ones. There by the heavier you are the more you would feel the recoil. Sounds good to me cause I'm 210 lbs and about 25 lbs overweight........ sounds about right.

Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 12:07 am I use Winchester, CCI & Federal primers. The only problems in the past that I have had were with the CCI Primers in a Dillon Progressive Press. It turned out that Dillon was having a problem with them due to their hardness. Switched to Winchester & Federals and have not had any more problems.
