  I look forward to seeing the picture of your new guns(s).

  I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn away from their ways and live. Eze 33:11

  A 303 would be cool for sure! The brownings are fine rifles!

  I'm having a spell of cerebral flatulence at the moment. Does the 30-40 have a rim? or is it like the 06? I've seen and handled the cartridge but can't remember. I may be getting it mixed up with the 7.62x54 Commie cartridge.
  

  Daddy, what's an enabler?
  Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.

  .30-40 is almost a copy of the .303, except the US went with a .308 bullet instead of .311. Ballistic twins.

  I was thinking it had a rim but I couldn't remember. It's been awhile since I fondled one.
