Grocers lose their Wal-Mart leverage
By Abigail Goldman
Times Staff Writer
Back in 2003 when a major grocery strike loomed in Southern California, the biggest unionized supermarkets insisted that they had to hold the line on workers' pay and benefits.
Their rationale: Wal-Mart was about to storm California with low prices and low wages, and supermarkets said they needed to stay competitive.
But the storm never came.
Now, with the prospect of another grocery strike at hand, some workers are accusing the big chains of crying wolf.
"They can't use Wal-Mart as an excuse," said Sharlette Villacorta, 35, a veteran clerk who manages the deli at an Albertsons in Los Feliz. "Wal-Mart is not affecting their bottom line."
Talks are to resume Monday between the grocers and the United Food and Commercial Workers on the contract that expired March 5 but has been extended twice.
Negotiations broke off April 4, but both sides have since signaled a desire to keep negotiating. A strike could occur as soon as next week, but is not considered imminent.
As promised, Wal-Mart in recent years opened some Supercenters, built distribution facilities and fought neighborhood and labor activists for the right open more. But it hardly stirred the Southland grocery scene.
In all, Wal-Mart has garnered less than 1% of the grocery dollars spent in Southern California and 3% across the state.
That hasn't stopped the big grocery chains, from continuing to warn of the threat of Wal-Mart's low-cost model.
"Wal-Mart served a useful purpose for the chains," said Harley Shaiken, an economist and UC Berkeley professor who specializes in labor issues. "Wal-Mart was the 800 pound gorilla at the bargaining table in 2003.
"In 2007, it's the 80 pound gorilla," he added. "It's still a presence, it will be an important factor, but it's obviously moving slower than projected."
Albertsons, Vons and Kroger, the parent company of Ralphs, control more than 50% of the grocery market in Southern California. Including Stater Bros. and Ralphs sister company Food 4 Less, the big unionized grocery chains control about two thirds of the market.
Wal-Mart kicked off the scramble in 2002, when it pledged to build 40 Supercenters across the state within six years. The supermarkets argued that their higher wage and benefit costs would make them unable to compete with the low-cost, non-unionzed discount chain.
To date, Wal-Mart has opened 22 California Supercenters, which combine mass merchandise and a full supermarket in a building that can be the size of two Home Depot stores. Nine Supercenters are under construction and nine others have been approved by cities.
A dozen more Supercenters are awaiting local approval, the company said.
Wal-Mart said its pace in California isn't slower than the company expected, although it acknowledges facing more litigation and a more organized opposition than elsewhere.
But analysts said that what's been built and promised so far is probably on the low end of Wal-Mart's hopes for tapping into the rich California market with the chain's most-profitable format.
Different regions throughout the state slowed the company's plans with strident public opposition, anti-big box zoning ordinances, high real estate prices or the tough labor market, analysts said.
At the same time, opponents across the country stepped up their criticism of the nonunion Wal-Mart's wages and benefits. Sales growth has slowed and the company last year said it would rein in the fast-paced domestic expansion that fueled the company's tremendous growth.
But Wal-Mart's slower expansion through California doesn't negate the issues it raises for the supermarket companies in the state and around the country, said Mark Husson, an analyst with HSBC in New York.
Upping the ante for the local negotiations, the contracts in Southern California become a template for the rest of the nation, Husson said.
"Wal-Mart is still out there, it hasn't gone away, it's just that the impact over the last three years hasn't been as bad as some feared in Southern California," Husson said. "But in the rest of the country, it's been every bit as bad as we thought."
Wal-Mart, which has 204 stores in California and employs nearly 71,000 people across the state, lists its average full-time hourly wage in California as $10.77.
But that figure does not break out pay among grocery employees and does not include part-timers who make up at least 25% of the workforce -- all of which makes comparison to the UFCW contract difficult.
A new food clerk at a union grocery store starts at $8.90 an hour and maxes out at $15.10. Veteran food clerks, who as a result of the 2003 strike and lockout are on a different pay and benefit scale, can make as much as $17.90 an hour.
In a recent conference call with reporters, the grocers expanded the list of threats to their competitiveness, citing nonunion sellers including Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Tesco, the British food seller that has announced plans to expand on the West Coast.
But Wal-Mart was singled out for special notice.
"Wal-Mart sells almost twice the amount of food and grocery items as the grocery store chains," said Ralph's president, David Hirz. "With nearly 200 locations in California and plans for 40 Supercenters and expanded space at regular stores, competition is going to get even tougher in the next few years."
Wal-Mart will post $85 billion in grocery sales this year, Husson estimated, while next nearest competitor Kroger should post $66 billion in sales.
"These are national companies," said Adena Tessler, Rogers Group, a Century City public relations firm hired by the three major chains to speak about the contract talks. "They compete with Wal-Mart across the nation and that affects their bottom line everywhere."

Beeston Achieving Dream with Western Mass
By Press Release
Photo credit: David Henry/sweetdogphotos.com
One of the revelations from the Western Mass Professional Soccer Club's inaugural season in the American Soccer League (ASL) is the emergence of James Beeston, who has shown himself to be a dominant midfield force on the field.
Beeston, who was one of the first players signed by the club, has improved every week since the start of the season. After continually breaking down defenses using his speed and precise passing in PDL action, it's become clear early on that he's got the ability and talent to thrive in pro soccer.
Beeston was raised in Newcastle-under-Lyme, a market town in Staffordshire, England. Newcastle-under-Lyme is famous for its parks and gardens, along with a traditional market known as "The Stones."
He started playing soccer at the local park and yard with his dad since the age of four. According to the central midfielder, an "unsuccessful and horrendous" attempt at cricket gave him the desire to solely focus on soccer.
At a young age, Beeston became a big fan of Port Vale F.C. located in Burslem, Staffordshire. Port Vale plays in Football League One, the third tier in the English football league system. Even today Beeston checks their results every Saturday, and tries to catch a game when at home.
Before moving to the United States for school, Beeston played thirteen years in the Port Vale Youth Academy. He won a number of accolades, such as winning the Midland Youth Cup twice, MVP of the Shrewsbury International Soccer Tournament, and captained Wolstanton High School along with his town Newcastle-Under-Lyme.
It was almost by chance that Beeston wound up at Siena College, a private liberal arts college located in Albany, NY. Siena's soccer program plays at the Division 1 level in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
"I was very lucky as my high school PE teacher knew the assistant at Siena," Beeston said. "The assistant asked him if he knew of any midfielders that would be willing to come over and pointed him in my direction."
Immediately, Beeston made an impact on the Saints by starting 18 of 19 games as a freshman. He also scored 9 assists that year, which had him tied for 19th nationally, and also tied the program's season record. Other awards won during his years at Siena include making the MAAC All-Academic team, First Team All-MAAC, and MAAC All-Tournament. Beeston was always a team leader in goals and assists.
"I had a fantastic experience at Siena," Beeston said. "The team became a family and it showed on the field, especially in my freshman and junior year. I had many accolades that I'm proud of, but we never won a conference championship which I'd swap all of these awards if it meant winning one."
Even though a conference championship never came to fruition, the college game allowed him to transition from the English style of play to the American one.
"Although England is often credited as a country with a lack of technique in their game, I found the players to be better technically over in England compared to the U.S.," Beeston said. "However, the game over here is quicker as the players are more athletic."
Beeston found his way to Western Mass by his friend and former Pioneers star Steve Covino (Covino also attended Siena, along with current Western Mass player Mike Matera). Attending a tryout allowed Beeston to suit up for the Pioneers.
Immediately, Beeston became a fan favorite and on field leader. That season had mixed emotions for him, because Western Mass started at an incredible 6-0-1, but four consecutive defeats in the second part of the year dropped them from playoff contention.
Success at the PDL level allowed Beeston to achieve a dream of his – to become a professional soccer player with the Western Mass Pro Soccer Club.
"Being on the practice field every day playing the sport you love and getting paid is a bonus," Beeston said. "I've had to sacrifice things in order to be in the position I'm in, but I'm fine with it. It's a sport where you'll have the chance to play at a higher level if you consistently perform well – that's what drives me."
Already, Beeston has noticed that the teams he is facing have both athleticism and high quality players from different nationalities and soccer backgrounds. These challenges force him to bring his A-game, every game.
Of course, playing at venerable Lusitano Stadium is another reason for Beeston to boost his abilities.
"Our fan base is best in the league and it's always a carnival atmosphere when we play at home" Beeston said. "The fans are real soccer fans – they know their stuff and are very loyal. They motivate you to play well – if you are playing well then you can hear their encouragement, but if you don't play well then you'll be hearing from them too!"
On the field, Beeston's goal is to outplay his opposite number. In his view, every player is accountable for his direct opponent. By simply outplaying him, the odds of winning the game increases. To that end, Beeston always seems to be in position to slot that perfect pass to a streaking teammate or take a shot on goal himself.
Beeston also prides himself in his ability to distribute the ball to change the point of attack, and be the anchor between the defense and the attacking midfielders/strikers.
"If I'm playing as an attacking central-midfielder, my first thought is head towards the goal," Beetson said. "If my teammate has a better goal scoring opportunity, then I'll look to slip them in."
Beeston's vision and technique are his strongest assets on the field, and he is improving the timing of late-runs into the box as the central-midfielder and shooting with his right foot.
After his professional career, Beeston plans on coaching. He is in his first year as assistant coach at The College of Saint Rose and reveling in it. Playing for Western Mass head coach Federico Molinari has also expanded his game.
"His tactics have affected me immensely in the short time I've been playing for WMPS" Beeston said. "His knowledge of the game is first-class. He doesn't just tell you what you should be doing or where you should be, he explains why, and his expectancy of you to practice and play with intensity is something I enjoy."
While Beeston has taken to Molinari's tactics, the midfielder has also kept in mind a piece of advice his father gave him when he was young: Quality will withstand the test of time.
"He told it to me at a time when the bigger, more athletic guys were being picked ahead of me as I was very slight but was sound technically," Beeston said. "It was the motivational boost that I needed at the time to keep me working hard."
Beeston is still working hard on improving his game, and is one of the standouts on the team. Quality does withstand the test of time, and Beeston is hopeful that he can be a testament to that statement.

The Rise and Rise of Audu Maikori: From Passion to Profit and Fame
Arise Arizechi
Some people work hard and achieve great success. Some others are hardly working and wonder why fortune doesn't smile on them.
I know a young man who doesn't just work hard. He also works smart and he has huge achievements to show for his efforts.
Enter Audu Maikori.
The third of five children, he was born into a christian home on August 13, 1975 in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, but was raised in the city of Lagos.
After his secondary education, he moved over to University of Jos where he studied Law. Considering that his Father, Adamu Maikori was a Lawyer and Politician, choosing the noble profession was definitely an easy decision to make. But destiny sometimes doesn't respect these seemingly sensible choices.
Sometime in 1997, while in the University, Audu and his friends were contemplating starting an event, more like a mobile club thing that will bring money while in school. After much brainstorming, Audu came up with the name "Chocolate City" and all his friends agreed to it.
Chocolate City became a hit in the University of Jos and became so successful that undergraduates from other universities started launching "Chocolate Cities " in their own schools. Indeed, the venture brought a lot of money and fame.
After university days, during his National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) program , Audu and his business partner, Paul Okeugo started a non-profit movement called Guild of Artistes and Poets (GAP).
The literary society was aimed at encouraging art and creativity, and it was based in Abuja. This move lead to many collaborative efforts with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the French Cultural Centre and the British Council.
Following the birth of GAP, he started meeting with different aspiring artistes and was offering free legal services to them.
Then they saw a need, a gap that needed to be filled.
The Bold Move
Audu and his partner saw the need to build a platform that would explore the talent of these intellectual people commercially, because art needs to be sustained with money. They moved quickly and in October 2003, Chocolate City was registered with the CAC to help manage up coming artistes and also promote their work.
Indeed this saying is true, "when you're ready, the universe always have it way of helping you."
From doing what he had passion for, opportunities started flooding in from different angles until the record label became fully organised and started signing artists.
Their first event was big. Chocolate City had partnered with British American Tobacco and held in the University of Maiduguri. However, it turned out to be a disaster after a drunk police officer accidentally discharged a gunshot.
They quickly got over it and signed their Jeremiah Gyang, a gospel artist after hearing his hit track "Na Ba Ka" in January 2005, as their first artist unto the Chocolate City record label.
After the signing of Jeremiah Gyang, another hip hop artist M.I was also signed into the label in 2006 through Jeremiah Gyang as he knew M.I right from childhood.
Over time, Chocolate City has signed 14 big name artistes and they include Femi Kuti, Ice Prince Zamani, Jesses Jagz, Pryse, Victoria Zamani, Nosa, Djinee, and many others.
On June 31st, 2015, Audu stepped down as CEO of Chocolate City Music via an official announcement on twitter, appointing M.I as the new CEO and Ice Prince Zamani as Vice President.
Today, Audu is an multi-award winning entrepreneur and sits as the President of Chocolate City Group, a Pan African music, media and events brand. who is travelled both locally and internationally. Chocolate City has branched into four companies; Chocolate City Media, Chocolate City Music, Kenya Chocolate City and Chocolate City Distribution, with focus not just on music but cinema, film, lifestyle and distribution.
He has also served as a judge on the Nigerian Idol reality TV Show and was compared to Simon Cowell because of his tough stand on contestants.
This widely-travelled Public Speaker was once named as one of the most powerful people in the Nigeria Entertainment by Ynaija Magazine in March 2014. He was also recognized for his outstanding contribution to the Nigerian music industry by City People Magazine in March 19, 2011.
Audu has also served as a member of the board of Cooperate Society of Nigeria (COSON), a government management organization for sound recording and musical works.
Some key lessons to learn from Audu Maikori:-
Never be afraid to make your first move, you can never tell what the outcome might be.
In spite of your first failure (just like Audu experienced in his first event), always continue to push forward until you hit great success.
Follow your heart, follow your passion. You will surely win because passion pays over time.
What other lessons can you pick out from his story? I would like to know your thoughts.

At the Core of the Big Apple: The Taking (and Retaking) of Pelham 123
Back when I used to travel to Manhattan for business and pleasure, I often jumped on the Lexington line, heading downtown. You can see all sorts of sights on New York subways, but happily I never encountered a quartet of desperate men, disguised with hats and fake mustaches, commandeering a train car and threatening to kill passengers, one by one, if their outrageous financial demands aren't met. That's central to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, a superior thriller released in 1974.
I became intrigued when I read a comment by actress Cynthia Nixon, who called this "my absolute favorite movie of all time. When it comes to movies about New York City, this one blows the competition out of the water." Given how many great NYC movies have been made over the years, Pelham had to overcome some mighty stiff competition to be at the top of Nixon's list. Now that I've seen it, I understand where Nixon, a native New Yorker, is coming from. The film presents a vibrant cross-section of New York life: its characters reflect a range of ethnicities and social strata, but they all share a cranky obstinacy that makes them truly seem to be at the core of the Big Apple.
Perhaps the crankiest and most obstinate is Walter Matthau, as the head of New York Transit's police division. It's his job to figure out what's going on with the southbound train called Pelham One Two Three, but his life is made no easier by the visiting Japanese dignitaries whose knowledge of English only seems limited, nor by the co-worker at headquarters who questions his every move. Eventually the city's inept mayor and his oily chief of staff become part of the situation too, as do scores of irked commuters. But of course they're all essentially being held hostage by the greedy, lethal, and (yes) obstinate hijackers, led by Robert Shaw. Also part of the plot is Martin Balsam, who—after some serious mayhem—features along with Matthau in one of the greatest final scenes ever.
When you've got a movie this good, why bother to remake it? Funny you should ask. In 2009, Tony Scott decided to work his action-film magic on the property, slightly retitling it The Taking of Pelham 123. In Scott's hands the movie has become twice as hectic, twice as violent, and at least four times as bloody, making room for lots of car crashes and other adrenaline-pumping moments. And the original ensemble piece (directed by Joseph Sargent) has somehow evolved into a star vehicle for two of Hollywood's biggest names. John Travolta plays the twitchy leader of the bad guys, a man not just greedy but totally screwed up, motivated by a kind of weird Catholic death wish. And instead of average-schmo Walter Matthau, the head of the good guy team is now Denzel Washington, who's not just a subway dispatcher but also a man who's been demoted into this job because of an ethical lapse of which he may or may not be guilty. Moreover, he's a former motorman himself, so at a certain point he ends up being summoned to take over the controls of the hijacked train car. Which puts him face to face with Travolta in the kind of movie-star showdown we could have anticipated from the start, with Denzel looking for redemption and Travolta wanting . . . well, what the heck does he really want, anyway?
A side note: the $1 million sought by the hijackers in 1974 has become $10 million in 2009. You can always count on inflation.

Well, looks like the pine trees were right and Environment Canada not so right! Deep Freeze is the right name for a winter camp for teens, currently underway at Mount Forest Camp. Read on to see why we thought we were in for a deep chill. Perhaps it will eventually be discovered that trees have a memory ability that permits them to prepare for future weather conditions, not just reflect the season that's ending!
October Post: The church here has the benefit of being located only 20 minutes drive from Mount Forest Camp, which it sponsors. The Camp was established in 1963, but largely served city children, for whom a week in the countryside was a rare pleasure. City kids are still a large proportion of campers, but local needs have also been met by running a Day Camp. This is for 5-10 year olds and the program runs from 9.30am-3:30pm each day. The large number of repeat campers at all the camps confirms they are highly popular with campers and families who bring them.
This year, the Camp has introduced a new website with the capability to register and pay online. Within 24 hours of its launch, one week of children's camp was completely booked for boys! Teen Camp is now over. Between Christmas and New Year some of those hardy teens will want to brave winter conditions and return for Deep Freeze. Pine trees here are producing cones abundantly, which some say is the sign of a harsh winter to come, so it looks like "Deep Freeze" may be aptly named! What is more certain is that those attending any of the camps this year will have left with warm hearts. The Camp advertises itself as "100 acres of natural beauty; a Christian environment to grow in." One of the growth opportunities for young people in churches of God is to serve as a volunteer worker at Camp, and several of our teens from the Mount Forest House Church have enjoyed that experience this year.
It is very encouraging to recognize that all counselling staff at Mount Forest Camp work on a voluntary basis. This helps keep fees low (Day Camp is only $40 per week, all meals, snacks, crafts and everything else included!).

Review: "The Bridges of Madison County" at SOPAC
As Francesca says, "I want to believe we are the first to know this feeling," and I certainly felt like I was experiencing everything right there with her.

Review: "Billy Elliot" at The Civic Theatre of Allentown
October 24, 2018 / Christopher Peterson
"Billy Elliot" is a feel-good story of a mining town on strike getting together to support a child who has the chance to get out of the town. The show is full of great dancing, catchy music written by Elton John, and a script by Lee Hall that never lags. This production at the beautiful recently renovated 19th Street Theatre was of professional quality.

Review: "Blithe Spirit" at The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ
August 21, 2018 / Christopher Peterson
Blithe Spirit, directed by Victoria Mack at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, is a classic play by Noël Coward that deals with the supernatural in a humorous way. The novelist Charles Condomine, invites the medium, the eccentric Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. Coward remarkably wrote the play in just six days. The play performed on the West End during World War II, providing audiences with much-needed escapism during this difficult time in history.

Review: "Mamma Mia" at Plays in the Park
It is hard to argue that Mamma Mia at Plays in the Park in Edison, NJ, directed by Moggie Davis, is not incredibly cheesy but that is exactly what makes this show so much fun. Plays in the Park is an annual occurrence every summer in Middlesex County where over 500 patrons each night come to see theatre under the stars at an affordable price. As I looked around the open-air theatre, at the rows that stretched back past what I could see, I thought of how theatre has the remarkable ability to bring so many different people together on a Wednesday night to enjoy something that is joyful. Mamma Mia doesn't have much substance to its script but shows such as this one are important to the scope of musical theatre and are needed in this bleak world that we inhabit.

Review: "The Servant of Two Masters" at The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ
Upon entering the outdoor Greek Theatre on the campus of Saint Elizabeth College, the audience is instantly transferred from Madison, NJ to Venice, Italy. This is partly because of the set design by Jonathan Wentz and sound design (Italian guitar pre-show music) by Warren Pace. The set is stunning and looks as if it could actually be a period villa taken out of Italy with its checkered floor with various colors and attention to detail, such as the porch lights with grill work. The set is two levels with many doors that slide open to create even more ways for the actors to enter and exit and allowed for the comedy and chaos that was to ensue.

Review: "Fun Home" at 4th Wall Theater
Fun Home won the Tony Award for Best Musical back in 2015. This story of a female coming to terms with her sexuality amidst her father's relationships with men and underage boys is now being produced by community theatres nationwide. I was curious to see if 4th Wall Theatre would give the show the justice it deserved. With Kate Swan's direction and the cast, it did more than that.
Sarah Gordin, 4th Wall Theatre
Review: "Small Town Story" at SOPAC
"Small Town Story" is a brand new musical, based on a true story and produced by American Theater Group, about a town in Texas putting on "Rent School Edition" in the high school. This choice of musical causes a divide in the town between those who support it and those who do not. This is an important show that teaches that change and theatre are necessary everywhere. The cast is comprised of a range of actors from professionals to high school students. The biggest standout for me was Ilana Gabrielle as Alex, the new student from Brooklyn. Ilana's acting and singing were incredible as she sang some of the best songs in the show, "Live Here," and "One Lone Star." Other standouts included Nick Siccone, as Scott Ames, who plays a believable teen who finally decides to stop hiding behind his camera and show who he really is as he stands up to his father. His father, played by notable Broadway performer Stacey Todd Holt, gave a beautiful performance as a father just trying to protect his son. Jaqueline Neeley, as musical theatre crazed, semi-annoying Caroline Barnes, was relatable to musical theatre kids and gave a likable performance. This character grows on you throughout the show.
SOPAC, Sarah Gordin


I was just reading about case stretching. It's the first time I've heard of it. Do many people do it? What is the advantage? Does it keep the case thicker at the mouth so it lasts longer ? I assume it pulls brass from the Center or lower of the case. In a video it said the brass needs to be annealed. Is there a risk of the base getting too soft when you start annealing that far down ? When and how often should you do it?
Case stretching is really only a problem with full blown high pressure speads. Reloading for the pressures and speeds i do most my brass doesnt stretche. My .270 Win is the only one that stretches cases every now and then. I still check it though in all my calibers.
I do neck turn to get a uniform case neck tension. Annealing is a double edged sword. I anneal alot during brass caliber conversion and fireforming to relieve all the stress and work hardening. After that maybe about every 5 ish reloads sometimes more depending if i dont see any case neck problems. I keep the brass in batches so if one cracks a case neck they all get annealed. Down side is it opens groups a little bit the first time reshooting, but then the groups settle back in the 2nd or 3rd reload. Its not enough of opening a group for me to worry about. Maybe if i was shooting a competition and .25 inches was the difference between a win or loose. Its not enough for me to miss a deer. It does make my brass last longer. I will wear out primer pockets before i crack a case neck. Annealing in my opinion is more to prolong brass life and not so much to create accurate ammo.
There is a risk to annealing the case web area. Thats why I use my fingers and a candle. When it gets to hot to hold it goes into a damp towel. Templac is the best way to go to ensure you hit the correct temp. Some stand the cases up in a basin of water and nock them over to protect the web. Which is how i started. Using a blow torch. To each their own and all methods work. Just hold the case into the blue part of the flame.
Case stretching like you describe can be done to make a short case longer to match the chamber better. Or for an obsolete case that can then be formed from some other. Brass is swaged from the case head and lower side walls up to lengthen the cases. It takes a lot of force to get any real amount. A lot use a heavy hydrolic press similar to a bullet swaging press for this. Under pressure materials become fluid and flow since the ram stops it from flowing down and the die limits it from going out it has to flow up and lengthen the case. This is the same as making a new case it starts as a flat coil and is formed into a cup then thru several draws it lengthens and becomes the straight walled case then a necking shoulder step and the bottle necked case. What these dies are doing is making the new shorter 48-55 brass long enough to fit original chambers and possibly even fit some of the other longer cases in 38 cal. I believe they used to stretch some 45-70 to 45-90 also. In this process the heavier thicker cases are preferred to have as much material to work with as possible. Im not sure how far you could go before thickness and distortion ( in primer pockets rims and body) became an issue.
"Red River Rick" out in Winnipeg, Manitoba sells the Kal-Max case stretcher which is used in conjunction with a standard "Porto Power" hydraulic unit of at least 4 tons (although I had him set mine up with a 10 ton unit). He offers dies to stretch straight cases in 38, 40, 45, and 50 calibre. Those lengthened cases can then be re-formed to obsolete or hard to find cartridges, or trimmed to be an exact fit to your individual chamber length.
Well now, I learned something new today.
