    #29 for me. Tis a lot more complex than when I started. Pretty much tax only, though. Audits went bye-bye when I switched firms 18 years ago.

    And keeping it gun related, I need to go review my components stashes.

    The 450 Marlin is a real problem, I avoided the 303 Savage until Prvi made brass then I stocked up, though there are some work arounds - a wrap of tape around a slightly shortened 30-30 will work to start. I have plenty of 35 Rem, but you can turn the rim off 303 British for that, I stocked up on .444, but added another 500 Starline who does still make them. 300 Savage is easy - .308 Win shortened, .307 Win and 356 Win - size and shorten 444. Most cases come from a few that existed in the 1890's to 1920's. Think the .284 is recent, turn the rim off a 45-70 and size down in steps - there ya go.

    I do stick with my .243, .308, .358 and .300 Savage's in Savage 99's for most of my shooting, ever since military brass was sold by GIBRASS - 1970's for me

    I didn’t realize I had a goldmine with once fired 450 BM brass sitting around.
