If you want to load a 223 or 243 up to a 7mm mag, then you should just buy the bigger caliber. Purse...sows ear...you get the picture. Thank you! -Buckmark22 Happy just to be in the woods. Happier if I make meat and fur!

He said the Henry rifles are the cheapest and poorest quality steel of all he tests. He recommended staying away from them as he thought they were an accident waiting to happen. For this reason, I won't spend my money to find out.
