The barrel on my Savage mkII has gotten a bit dirty, smudges and finger marks that won't just wipe off.
I didn't want to hit it with anything abrasive, to avoid scratching/marring the finish.
I bought some stainless steel cleaning wipes, that guarantee they will take the finger marks off...

Planning on seeing how it shoots tomorrow. Going to start the NRA smallbore qualification stuff, so no scope yet, but I eventually plan on getting something nice for her. Range report coming soon.
My last trip to Bass Pro, I was able to score a box of .224 50 grain BT Remington Premier Accutip-V bullets, mainly because they apparently got knocked all the way to the back of the shelf, and were mostly hidden.
I can't find any load data for the bullet though. I have the Lyman book, and...
Okay,
I've almost got everything I need to get started loading.
I've run into a bit of uncertainty on primers for the ammunition I'll be making.
I'm loading .308 for an M1A, and .223 for an M4 variant (that can handle 5.56). Last weekend I went on a field trip and was able to obtain...
Buying stuff at BPS.
Asked about primers and powder, sales guy says they have 19 bricks or so of small pistol primers. Nothing else in primers or powder though.
Rcbs .223 and .308 dies on the shelf though.

I know from searching the forums that most people who tumble use cob or walnut media, or stainless steel.
Would a fine sand (NJ-60 type or sandbox sand) work?
The reason i ask is that I am trying to save money, and have access to free sand.
Just thought all the Republicans in the house should check this out. Who would think that Senate republicans would cozy up with Barbara Boxer (the only democrat who also voted against this bill) to kill this bill...
Just went into the new Dick's in the shopping center that has the Wegmans in it.
They have a decent hunting section in the back left and are having an ammo sale.

I'm looking to buy (hopefully in the near future) a carbine type rifle, and a shotgun, to go with my .45 XD in hopes of practicing up and taking part in some tactical pistol, tactical rifle, and 3 gun competitions.
I'm in the "homework doing" part of researching...
Hi, I'm Joe, and I live in Baltimore City.
I was pointed here by my brother-in-law (I'm not sure if he's a member) after I asked him a few questions about who he knew in the shooting community.
I'm here basically because I want to get back into shooting after a long absence from any sort...
