I remember you talking a lot of high praises about it ! Kinda why I been half way looking that them grin there's a few more up for sale if you got the cash but eek seems to be new barrel up on ole Evey every two week or so for contenders . The greybeards classifieds or 24hr campfire probably has co cheaper but you gonna drop like $250 on average. Mine was like $195 shipped . Suprised no one else placed any bids

I've had both the 30 Herrera and the 357 Herrett.
Wish I would have kept them both.
Great for deer and just flat fun to shoot.
Not to mention easy to load for.

It was difficult to fine tune the reloading process for good case life

I'm sure you know this but in the case

It's based on a rimmed 30 30 case bit it headspaces on the shoulder

Takes some time to get the dies set rite, you will fail in the beginning

Don't let 3 or 4 shots and you have a split case mess with your head

It takes time.....have fun, it's one heck of a cartridge
