Can't remember the exact year, but 45-50 years ago Texaco drilled a well in South Louisiana and drilled into a massive salt mine. Drained the lake! History Channel did a show on it. Texaco got the blame but after a full investigation, the survey data on the salt mine was in error and the real root cause.

That was Lake Peignuir near Jefferson Island Louisiana. Late 80s. They drilled into the Jefferson Island salt mine. Luckily the mine was shut down. The story is titled the day Lake Peignuir was drained i think.

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
