This makes sense as the companies are essentially the same.

Beware!!!!!!! I have a full box of that brand of .375H&H ammo with 300 gr solids, and I can tell you that ammo is hotter than hell. I bought three boxes of it when it was discontinued and shot part of one box in a Whitworth rifle, and it was so hot I quit. I pulled the bullets from one box and the partial box and reloaded it with my proven loads, and put the full box in my cartridge collection.
The ammo pictured was made in Montreal, Canada! If this new stuff is made by the same loader and is as hot as the old stuff I’d be very careful about using it!
………………………………………………………………...........................................Just a heads up!

Big Wonderful WyomingMarketing gimmick for the Real Tree crowd.
My brother in law is a Salt Lake Mormon, he doesn't have any clothing that doesn't have Browning scribed on it.
The company has a following, I don't think it is 100% Mormons, but they have a following and all they are doing is marketing it to their crowd.
Even Blaser uses the same marketing gimmick.

Actually, I don't think that's the case. Years ago, Winchester was wholly owned by Olin Corporation. At some point, I don't remember exactly when, Olin sold Winchester Firearms but kept Winchester Ammo. After bouncing around through several iterations, Winchester Firearms wound up with Browning. Olin still owns Winchester ammo. Different companies.

Indeed, not many people know that along with the Pearl of Great Price, the Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants, a current print copy of the Browning catalog is mandatory reading at all Priesthood/Relief Society meetings. I've even heard that you are tested on the current MSRP to enter into the Melchezidek Priestood, and that it is often referenced in Patriarchal Blessings. Interesting.

bwanamrmLOL I shot some of the old gold box Browning in .375 back in the day. Man that stuff would loosen your fillings!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Use Enough GunBaxterB: Too funny for those of us in the know!
As one of the greatest inventors and gunmakers the world has ever known, John M. Browning was a staunch member of the Mormon Church and had served a Mormon mission to the Southern States. The family crossed the plains with the early Latter-day Saints in the 1054 mile trek west, eventually settling in Ogden, Utah. The firearms world owes a lot to John M. Browning.
Browning Arms is currently located in the small town of Morgan, Utah, up Ogden Canyon a ways.The Browning museum is located in Ogden. Cool place!
Browning has a world wide following both militarily as well as civilian. And no, it isn't just Mormons!

touchdown88There's a family a few town over that has a browning shotgun from right around the time the pioneers came to Utah. Needless to say they aren't letting it out of the family.

My first gun was a Browning 12 ga that my grandfather gave me over 50 years ago. He had owned it a very long time himself.
I have not shot it in years and would not part with it for anything .

tendramsHell, I'll buy this ammo. My wife's great (x5) grandfather was Edmund Browning, grandfather to JMB. Not a bad choice of spouse as it turns out...and she gave me a son born on Sam Colt's birthday.

Because I do not have the time to reload. My life is a blitz with every second accounted for.

I wasn't aware of a museum. I guess I could google. Sounds like a good road trip to me.

What model would that be?
I don't know. The old guy that had all the info is in a coma and the family is pulling him off life support this afternoon.
The old guy does have one of the best collections of high walls around. Most of them with a 'Browning Bros' stamp on them. Too bad cause his kids will probably have them sold by Sunday night.
