No Winco's in my neck of the woods. :(
I'm sure you can easily find some eye of round.  Drop it in some pink salt solution and make your own.

Dave, nice move using pre-made corned beef to smoke for the pastrami. Doing the whole process takes a lot of steps. Looks like the results were a hit!

Pork Belly Brian has a killer corned beef recipe I would love to try; just finding the time to try so many things is hard!

We  have a company in K.C. called Boyle's that makes corned beef to sell in the stores locally. Could probably use it to make a pastrami, just adapt Dave's recipe.

Everything looks fabulous Dave! Grinding the spices will really intensify the flavors. Rubens are my all time favorite deli sandwich. Jasons deli left town a while back and left me rubenless (is that a word?). I bet your samiches were a big hit.  :P

no Jason's?!  I'd move immediately, if not sooner.  LOL, I only visit a few times a year, but there's one downtown so it's not a bad walk for lunch on a nice day.  So many yummy options there.

Follow up, I think this was one of the best corned beef to pastrami efforts I've made.  The Ruben sandwiches were out of this world.  I'm sold on the round, guys.  Look for it at your restaurant depot.

Hey Dave, I have a quick question for you, what is the brand of spice/coffee grinder that you have, and would you recommend it? Thanks...

Bill,
Nothing special on the grinder, cheap Wal Mart version for spices.

Great looking Ruben sandwich and even better since you made the meat yourself.

Hello Dave, pastrami looks perfect. Could you give a time and temp please?
