    I don't even bother trying to buy bullets from the U.S. anymore. It's just not worth the trouble IMO.

    zimmer liked post by GWH On thread : QuickLoad?
    Yes, but for what you're loading its doesn't really matter, working with the standard H20 capacity in QL will be quite fine, its not like you're loading on the ragged edge of pressure.

    zimmer liked post by Mooseman On thread : Firearms that go uncleaned....permanently.
    Always clean after each outing, just a habit I got into. It is safe to leave them uncleaned for a while so long as there isn't to much moisture about or if they get a soaking. To much money tied up...

    A top candidate for a gun that can go forever without being cleaned, imo would be a Benelli inertia shotgun. m2 for example. In regards to rifle barrels. A person should not need to re-zero after...
