Late 60's.early 70s there as a smith named Claude Simmons who,for some reason,did not throw me out of his shop as a kid who was hanging around.Keeping my hands behind my back and not touching anything probably helped.

Claude carried Norma Bullets...old brown pasteboard boxes...silver colored.I think they are nickled steel jackets.

I had a M1 Carbine,the 93 gr 30 Luger soft points tore up jackrabbits.I have 2 boxes,Claude wrote $2 and some change on.I also have 2 boxes Norma 7mm,I think 156 gr,sleek boat tails with a lot of lead tip.Also silver ,magnetic jacket.Also about $3 a hundred.

I don't suppose I'll shoot them.They are part of my time machine.
