	So Babydriver, are you suggesting 43 Egyptian? I like the 357 Max idea. That would give me 3 rifles based on that case. My 30 Wesson Ballard is fun to shot and accurate. I am having a 32 RKS made soon. I had better stock up on brass. I have some but will need more eventually.

	I can also recommend the 30-30. I have a highwall in 30-30 ( not original, but you have to look closely to tell ). It's an excellent cartridge for a single shot. With a #3 half octagon barrel, the extra weight makes it a fair bit more pleasant to shoot than a '94. I could probably be happy with highwalls in just 32-40, 38-55 & 30-30. Chris.

	Remember Chris, Two's company and three's a crowd, but 17 is a PARTY!

Oh and I also like the 38-50 idea someone mentioned too. And maybe I'd add a 33/40 or 33/47. Chris.

	Somehow counting your 1885s seems to me sort of similar to counting your money at the poker table. I have some. Will likely acquire some more. Have a complete set? Very unlikely. Not ruling that out completely though.

	I have been looking at Winchester single shot rifles for about forty years, maybe more. I doubt that I've actually SEEN an example of every cartridge they built. Gotta keep looking- show this weekend, even if a single example is doubtful around here.

	You got that 32-40 that Joe sold on Gun Broker? That went for a great price. I had it bookmarked but forgot to check on it today. Glad you got it though. It looks to need a slight bit of TLC but at that price it was a steal. Have you noticed a weakness in high wall prices lately? Even Gussenhoven bought a high wall. I am going to slow down especially at auctions so you may have some other bargains in the future. I am going to save up so I can have a stash to take to the Oregon Arms show in August.

	Seeing the price it sold for reminded me of a nice SST 219 Zipper I bought back in 2017 on Gun Broker. The starting price was $799 and there were no bids the Saturday morning on its final day. I awoke with what I thought was a bad crick in my shoulder blade but as the day progressed it got worse and by about 2 pm I was in urgent care and they said I had a pulmonary embolism and I should drive across the street to the hospital emergency room. I had bid the $5 minimum that morning but with all the medical issues I had totally forgotten about it. As I was walking into the hospital my phone chimed and to my surprise, I had won the auction. I had to notify the seller that it would be a few days before I could send a check.

	The HW Gussenhoven got wasn't cheap. It was nice and it was what he had been looking for for a long time. Told me he can't wait to shoot it.
