Remember all the old nice Remington's in .25 Rem., .30 Rem., .35 Rem.
etc? Wish I had kept all those old rifles that passed through my hands.
And you're exactly right, even nearly fifty years ago I used to reload
for them, much cheaper and could get better ballistics than most of the
factory loads. Good deer rifles for East Texas whitetail.
