Before you begin cranking up your 6mm loads, it would be advisable to establish some sort of baseline, so you can tell if your gun shoots all loads "slow", or if its actually a problem wi ... |

Back to the original question:
I'm 61, I own about 45 firearms, and my favourites are almost anything without a lift bolt. I like BLRs, BARs, Rem pumps and autos, Marlins, Rosses..... |

I'd have thought they'd start up again s ... |
