Skeet you been dying your hair again?
No, really, thanks for the site, it solved a riddle for me. I have a fair supply of some bullets I have had for a long time and the labels came off. I had written 170gr on the plastic package cover with a magic marker but for the life of me could not remember what the devil they are, when I looked at the pictures on the site there they were; Veral Smith's 170gr 30cal LBT FNLB. I had bought 1m of them for testing in my 30cal Merrill barrels (30-30, 30-20, 30 Merrill) and never used them except for a few when I was writing an article about the 30-20 and 30 Carbine used to shoot steel with heavy bullets. I also used a few when I was working on a propitiatory 30cal revolver round. But due to CRS I just could not recall where they came from or what they were. That is a fine 30 cal bullet.
Thanks again.
