    Greetings, Definitely consider light handloads. Point of impact can vary widely with different sorts of ammo. If you handload I can suggest some lighter loads that I used in my steel butt No4. GPM.

    Do you mean one in front and one behind the teal clip? Cause can't see that working? If you aren't going to throw near vertical targets take the teal clip off, then 2 targets will fit on the blade...

    No damage is caused cleaning using a quality one piece rod, bore guide and a bronze brush. Most mass produced barrels don’t like to be taken back to bare steel and can use a couple of shots to...

    I also have bursitis in my shoulder, and its my opinion that most of your discomfort is coming from that. Perhaps it is causing you to hold the rifle in a way which you normally wouldn't, but if I...
