I have a Model 7 that is in the recall list. Is the "bonding agent" the glue that was applied in the factory to secure the adjustment screws - or is it something else ?

Re: Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep Great post, thank you. My question is about deburring the inside of the case mouth. I have always followed the typical reloading manual's advice of lightly chamferring the inside and outside, trying not to convert the case mouth into a...

Re: Shooter position related POI shift I am now paying a lot more attention to maintaining a consistent firing position and the groups are noticeably tighter. Thanks for all the replies.
