Lokidog- My bad.  I will pay more attention to the smiley's.

Jim the Plumber- Good catch.  Ballistically it is more in line with the .300 Savage and the 30-40 Krag.

It appears to have been one of the longest serving battle cartridges of all time, short of the arrow.  So it can't be all bad.  We used to be able to get the rifles for $50 if you had a FFL.  I sold a ton of them for $75.  Ammo was cheap for the surplus mil stuff.  Wish I had kept one and stocked up on the ammo, it was fun to shoot.  Slickest action you ever worked.  Until the Garand came along it was probably the best battle rifle built.  It was the perfect pickup truck rifle, you couldn't hurt it.  Might not be any more due to ammo costs though.
