Some more info on that Beadalon stainless steel cable.

The beadalon and fishing leader are in the same price bracket; fishing leader is a few bucks more for the same quantity (depends on where you buy it from)... the beadalon 19 strand doesn't go any higher than .024 in diameter, so it's of no interest to me... but the 49 strand .030 and .036 will work for pull pull on most models... it doesn't stretch once the ends are crimped, but if you pull, or man handle the cable too much with out the ends crimped, being made up of 49 strands of micro fine stainless steel they can start to untwist and give the impression its stretching.
So my suspicions were correct, that the "beadalon49" is similar to the 49 strand fishing leader, just the beadalon comes in a variety of decorative colors and metal plating... the 49 strand fishing leader is easier to obtain for the obvious reasons, and it comes in nylon coated, or bare finish.
The .030 and .036 is some tough stuff, even the .024... but I would not go out of may way to hunt the beadalon stuff down again, when the fishing leader is easier to get.
