I have had excellent service with the usps.

Sometime in the early 90s i acquired a Swedish Mauser Mdl 96. Since the I had a few passed on to others. Late last year i got a scoped Savage 110 in 6.5 Creedmore! My Atholon Chronograph shows no real difference shooting 140 grain Hornady bullets.

i grew up in Chicago. Left in early 60s. Still have family and friends in that corner of Illinois. I been in Idaho since 82. Most of my friends here are escapees from CA, WA, & OR.

When I moved to Idaho in 1982 I lived not too far from CCI and bought mostly CCI primers over the years. Now it easier to buy 'foreign' primers than local production.

In most cases the 'cure' is worse than the disease!
