.348 GC specifically. I have loaded my RCBS 200gr GC w/o the GS....accuracy's acceptable, but I prefer the GC. NOE, or Accuracy may have a listed mould with plain base.

I enjoyed both versions of "Man On Fire", although the second version with Denzel Washington was much better with graphics.

+1 for Simmons Gun Specialties. May still be in Olathe, KS. They restored a pre-war Winchester Mdl 42 for me and added a rib. The re-bluing and wood finish made the gun look like factory new.

I have a 2-die RCBS set in the original cardboard box.
Well, the notion of utilizing one scope among several different rifles is still quite logical/economical without having to recalibrate internal adjustments. The visual clarity of B&L scopes was tops...
