   I have an old 4 power Pecar reticle moving scope here with a 26 mm tube. There are a set of 26 mm rings in the box so I might see if I can fit it to my scoped .303 as an alternate scope for some...

   But you could call the .30-284 a 7.5 x 55 Schmidt - Rubin, a cartridge fro 1889 that it closely resembles. I'm sure there would be some Brownie points in that. Imagine the conversation. What have you...

   Refurbished a reloading tool for a calibre you don't own! You are truly a far gone handloader. Something for we lesser mortals to aspire to. Respectively Yours, Grandpamac.
