Should I sell my older .358 BLR for the 'new' one?

[ALMODUX]

Just wondering if I&#39;m holding on to my pet for no reason now that Browning has decided to re-introduce the .358 in the BLR Lightning? Mine is the First model with the ugly box magazine. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-rolleyes-green.gif Also, anyone know of good sources of loaded .358 Win. ammo, other than the 200 grain Silvertips? I&#39;m just wondering if I should try on a new one in .358 or stick with old &#39;thumper&#39;. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-sideways-laff-aqua.gif

I&#39;m always looking for an excuse to buy another firearm, but I don&#39;t get sometning I already have, and I don&#39;t sell the old ones.
If the BLR you have works, get one in that shoots a different round.

I&#39;d keep your old one as it is a "more desirable" to collectors. The old &#39;81BLR has a steel reciever, and the new "Lightning" &#39;81 BLR&#39;s have aluminum recievers. They are lighter, but some oldtimers don&#39;t trust them. Although the lock-up is steel to steel.

I plan on buying a newer &#39;81 BLR model in a .358Win because I have to, the older steel ones are so hard to find.

Here are three makers of loaded ammo for your .358 Win (and many others) to check out. they load Barnes, Speer etc. and in a variety of weights.
