I got out with leaving less then $85. But I now a good supply of SPG lube, some poly wads (which I wanted to try out), and a spiffy drop tube. {Yea, I know... I coulda made my own... but it wouldn't be quite so pretty)!

Oh yeah, by the way, what's your favorite toy store?

I once visited the Dixie Gun Works store/car museum and that is number one. Other than that, Indian Country Sports in L'anse.

P.S.
I might change my number one if I got to go to the Shiloh store.

Good morning
Down here in Arequipa there are only two options in a city of 2 million plus. You can go to Angel gordo's or his buddies place down the street.. el flaco. Hapily over the years the government restrictions have eased and all sorts of new manufactured items are available. European and some Brazilian. No leverguns. Can special order for very big bucks.

The Big Timber stop is always fun.
Griff if you go down 90 to Gillette, take the east exit and the Camplex and head on east on the service road past WyoDak, and stop in and say hi to Allen and Dan at TNT.

My favorite toy store is Cabelas - probably because I only get to one every four or five years. I'm holding out hope they will build one here in North Dakota.

Griff, That sounds like a neat place to visit and spend a few bucks. I know my money belt would be a lot lighter as I have never owned a '74 sidehammer.

Nice country too--a great fringe benefit of being an over the road trucker. :D ---------------------Sixgun

Thank you sir,
Yours bears a strong resemblance to the one I bought from Buffalo Arms back when I first began reloading my .45-90 and .405 WCF. Note three different size holes to allow a snug fit for brass cases of different sizes, Also, the oak loading block for rimmed cases of 40 - 45 caliber; .405 WCF in the block at the moment.

Cabela's is a good place to take the kids for cheap entertainment but not to actually buy stuff from :p
