RE: Which is better nickel or brass cases?

I tried the nickle for my 30:06 and it worked well until I had to trim and then the nickle flaked at the mouth. Gone back to brass.

RE: Which Motorola 2-Way Radio to Buy?

Just bought a pair of Motorola Talkabout T6220, work well. Went to this model as it has the vibrate feature so it doesn' t ring when on stand. It still makes noise but not as bad as ringing.
