I realise that the first three are of the same ammunition and rimless, and the fourth involves rims, but, I am curious, as they appear fairly similar in functionality. Any responses are probably best sent to me, off-list, due to the off-topic nature of the question. And, to the List Administrator(s); please excuse this so completely off-topic posting, but, with the assertion above, having been posted, my curiosity is piqued. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
