My self I only buy ammo off the shelf to get new o nice fired brass. I shoot it up at targets. Then I load my own . But I hunted with guys that have only used one brand , my old boss had to have Winchester slugs for his 20 ga. Or it just wouldn't kill anything.

How many guys stick with the same ammo year After year they buy Remington cor-loc's because That's what dad always used . Or Winchester or What ever. And how many grab a box of the cheapest stuff They can find. Cuz. There gun shoots anything. P.s. and how many roll there own.? And how many guys need the latest Dangerous game/ critical duty/superformance match/ managed recoil/ accutip / SST / GMX spitfire HP.

Yup I hear a mate 'e I think I will run it up to the gunsmith and see what he says. The front site sits in a dove tail but its not a stranded one its small. Will come up with something.

Got to the club for a little wile this am. Only Bad thing in the morning is the range faces the East and the sun is in your eyes. Took the two rifles I plan on using this yr in the Southern zone. Just wanted two double check The rifles and ammo for them the 35 rem with leverevolution Ammo. It was a little high and right. Got it over and down two clicks. Then I got my 8mm. Lacoruna one of the most widely Use deer rifles in the northeast. My last two rounds In the 10 had at 80 yds. With a red dot . Never used A red dot for hunting before but I am giveing it a try. And then I tryed my 8+56 out , I have to change the front Sight , I just can't see it , it looks like a pyramid it comes to A sharp point that to me disappears when I am trying to use the 6 o'clock hold. So more work to be done.

Found another great site on this rifle. The big S stamp means it was reworked post 1930. So I got a new one. I thought it looked kinda Shine E. HE HE. And I think it said mine was a Bulgarian and the stocks Were renumbered on bought sides with different No.s the new number under the old no. Some times 3 sets of numbers. That's mine.two on one side one On the other.
