How difficult is it to find .351 WSL? Can't imagine how much it must suck to have a gun with really uncommon ammo that's fun to shoot; just finding/buying .303 makes me cry because it is so expensive and not very available

I picked up a 50 round box of 1970s Winchester Super X at a gun show and shoot it quite sparingly - it's not an easy caliber to shoot, that's for sure! Still, not as bad as some of the other guns in my collection (10.6mm German Ordnance Revolver, anyone?) Apparently PCI still loads it in the States, but no one brings it up here.

It is quite a fun gun to shoot, the big counter weight slamming forward really keeps the recoil down, it almost wants to pull forward after every shot. Very controllable, even firing quickly! It's too bad the round was never chambered in more guns, it really does suck as a deer hunting round but makes a great short-range manstopper - it would have been a big step up from .30 Carbine if they'd chambered it in something like an M1!
