Gosh this looks like fun!

How 'bout the .256 Win mag? Tons of .357 brass with which to make ammo.
A new slick poly tipped .25 poly tipped slug, and a good traditional soft point.

A nice repeater like the old Levermatic, maybe on the Ruger 96 action, and a bolt rifle for the accuracy buffs. MIght as well put it in the Handi-Rifle single shot as well.

Always wanted a Levermatic .256 .........never happend. Ruger would never resurrect the 96 (darn bean counters) so.....lets get Henry to make it!!!!!
