This weekend's show was decent.
Nothing to really grabbed my fancy but enough to poke at to keep me interested. Just 10 feet in the door and a vendor of "Miscellaneous Olde Stuff" (gun related, not junque), had 6 boxes of 7mm Ackley Magnum reloads! He volunteered to sell me the lot for components for $5/box. So, I got my arms stretched out lugging the sack around the rest of the morning.
Interestingly, they were marked "7mm Ackley Magnum No.1" and "No.2". While I cannot measure shoulder corners very closely, the only real difference I find is in the neck length where the No. 1 is a bit shorter. No mention of variations in Ackley's books or other references at hand. Both chamber in my rifle with no issue.
Now, to pick up a 7mm collet for my puller and build some low end loads to see how it shoots.
Yep, you never know what'll turn up.
