SKB has a good point there. One was all I could afford so I crossed the channel for the same quality for less money.

Reference the drillings I rather like the obscure cartridges. That's why I bought most of mine, no one had ever heard of the cartridge they were chambered to...but I admit to be a bit twisted. However, those are mostly older drillings. There is a pile of them out there in common cartridges: 7 X 57R, 8 X 57R, 9.3 X 74R, 9.3 X 72R is readily available also. Occasionally one is seen in 30-30 WCF or 25-35 WCF and even 22 Hornet.
