   My experience has been that the “use fast burning powders for a short barrel” isn’t really a thing. Certain powders in certain configurations just tend to give better velocities then others and is...

   Things I have found when reloading for short barrel rifles (14-17 inch 308s and 7mm08s mainly) is the following: Higher pressure loads burn powder efficiently Heavier bullets typically help...

   Generally not but I wouldn't swear on the bible with that. If the sear fails to engage at all the firing pin is "lowered" albeit quickly, by the cam and shouldn't hit the primer with sufficient force...

   I use high temp lithium bearing grease on all moving parts for use in the field. Goes on, stays on and doesn't dry out. One tube of it will last a life time and is cheap as chips. Oil wise for...

    A wipe over with a lightly oiled rag is all that is needed. A SMALL amount of lithium grease or copperkote on the cocking cam does no harm. Excess oil, gumming oils, and grease should NEVER be used...

    I use a light oil (about 10W) and wipe off as much as possible. Then a dab of lithium grease on the cocking slope at the back so it turns when you open the bolt and finger smears on the sides of the...
