    what a day

    I swapped out that trap , and remade the set . I need to look that trap over . I'm not sure if it might be twisted , or anything . I really need to look over the chain swivels , to be sure they still swivel . I put more swivels in my chain , to keep the chain from wrapping up . this helps...

    Federal powershock bullet ?

    I don't crimp any rifle ammo . I don't have anything that needs a crimp . "IF" I was crimping I'd rather use a bullet with a cannular . I'm not sure if crimping on a non-cannular bullet would distort it , or affect it in some unforeseen way .

    Defiance and pre-fit BBL's

    from what I read , this only seems to be getting longer . afterwhile , I lose interest , and get the screw it's . "IF" I was building something new today , I'd be looking at actions that support the use of pre fit BBL's . I'd buy a BBL vise , and action wrench . when I ordered the new...
