    For larger weights I like my Lyman, although I hate the 30min warm-up. For 223, I find it hard to beat the older purple/brown Redding's. I have a couple. Maybe paid $25/ea off fleabaay.

    Never been in a salt mine. Been in a dozen or so coal mines, the last one with a 4.5' seam. The coolest was a lead mine over in MO. The pillars there were 80' high. It did look like LOTR.

    A year ago I saw Dak play in the Egg Bowl down in Starksville, that's about as close as I come to a Cowboy's fan. Living close to St. Louis, I'm a bit jaded when it comes to the NFL.

    I've been quite happy with my Meindl Perfekt's (offered through Cabela's). However, they will push your budget unless they are on sale. Made in Germany, for the most part, FWIW.
