    Info on Winchester Fail Safe Ammo

    Just the value in brass alone was worth it. I bought the half case that was left. Might as well shoot it. Expensive paper punchers will give it a whirl on caribou, deer and a moose. If it performs it might go to Africa. I primarily am a handloader and hunt uniquely with nosler partitions, rhinos...
