That & a helpful cat running across the

their ad said original, it has a few light stains.  the brass ends were covered in a thick green waxy protectant which I removed with mineral spirits and a toothbrush.

haven't messed with fit yet but good to know.   thanks.  

my privi ammo should be here this evening.  I also found 4 boxes of S&B in a tiny hole in the wall local gun shop so will have 2 types to try.  have to be in orlando next couple days but hope to get to the range after.  assuming they're open.  need to call.

the S&B ammo may shoot OK, but the brass is rubbish for reloading. The Privi is excellent.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
