You know how you start musing over things as you are sizing a bucket of bullets?
Well,I have a large amount of 296 and can get more very cheaply. I am in the UK and current exchange rate gives $14 a pound tub! Thats a bargain where ever you are.
The only thing I can immediately use it in is 44 and 41 mag in the Marlins. Dont really need a thumper load as I am only shooting paper out to 50 yards.
I do have an 1893 Marlin in 32-40 and see W296 listed for that so will have to give that a go.
So,what else could I use this in? I am looking at getting one of the AIA enfields in 7.62x39. If its ok in 32-40 why not in this one as well?
Also have 303,7.5 swiss,45-70,snider,MHenry,310 cadet and a few more oldies.
I would welcome any suggestions preferably based on fact and experience!
Regards,
Tony
