I just read where Wichester is releasing some more John Wayne ammo.
http://www.wholesalehunter.com/asp/prod.asp?productid=46198&title=Winchester+Ammo+John+Wayne+30-30Win+150gr+PwPt/20
Sometime in the late 1970's I had several boxes of 30-30 with the John Wayne headstamp. .......at the time, I think it was like $10 or $12 a box, I can't remember for sure.
Anyway, it was the the only nickle plated brass I had seen up to that point so I bought several boxes.
Sometime around 2002 / 2003 I was at the range with five boxes that I was going to shoot, just to get the brass. Well one of the shooters came over, saw what I was shooting, and paid me $200 for four full boxes. (I threw in the extra box I had been shooting out of.)
That was the only time I have ever tried to talk "the other guy" out of a deal that would make a few bucks for myself. He was very adamant, and actually shoved the money my way. In fact, he was tickled pink.
I have often wondered what he knew that I didn't? :-?
Now, I have to wonder if this is the same stuff I sold him?
