When I was a kid, 1960's, the newspaper delivery trucks from which kids threw the papers to the houses cut bailing wire off the bundles and wrapped it on a corner post of the truck cover. When it built up they would throw it off. Dad wanted it so whenever we spotted it in a yard or street we brought it home. Sometimes I'd ask the kids when they were pre tying papers and they always gave it to me. I used that wire up into the late 1970's.
Here is a funny from that bailing wire.
It was galvanized. In 1974 I bought a cutting torch set then used a welding tip to weld up a cart for the bottles. I'd be welding away and it would pop. The more it popped the madder I got.
It took me many hours of this to realize it was from the galvanizing on the bailing wire I used for weld filler rod. :)

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
