Makin' some 32-40's from 30-30's for our John Wayne Commemorative Winchester 1894.
Here's the link to the full story...

There are so many calibers and bullet designs because there are so many different targets... the target is everything.
219 Improved Zipper from 25/35 (Thanks to Hornady for providing new 25/35 brass!). Left to right would be the 25/35 case, then trimmed to just a bit too long 25/35, 25/35 in the trimmer (Lyman for drill press setup), sized in Zipper FL sizer (just leaves a little shoulder) and loaded with forming load (Lee .225/50 grain with White Label blue lube, 9 grains Green Dot for a nice 150 yard sage rat load) and finally a fully formed case loaded with 53 grain Hornady hollow point for those 300 yard sage rats. And I don't use a photo hosting service so you'll need to click on the pic to get full-sized.
Sweet job Earl!!!
