Re: Which gun oil?

I can understand you need something for steel barrels! But I don,t coat my s/s barrel with anything after I have finished cleaning it. Do I need too!

Re: Can,t believe it!! A few points of.................

Yes thats what I mean .2 of a grain. I have found that I have to set my Lyman power measure a wee bit low and top up with the trickler as it measurements are just not that accurate. thanks

Brass. whats the best after Norma!

Hi there. I,M after some more brass! The hornady stuff I will never buy again . at least 50% of it split the case necks after about the 2-3 reload. I feel the Norma brass is A little expensive. What brand should I order, plus how many reloads are you getting on average from you brass. Thanks
