    Barrel tuning question

    Thanks for posting this, I knew there was a correlation in velocity and barrel harmonics. My Marlin 30-30 seems to prefer the old Remington Core-lokt in 170 grain. I'm trying to find the sweet spot somewhere between 2000 fps- 2300 with my reloads.

    Shotsehell loading

    I'll never forget my first shotshell reload courtesy of Mr. Bill Edger when I was around 12. To me it's not about cost, but the satisfaction of being self sufficient. Just like Venison and vegetables are after a fruitful kill or harvest!!

    My son picked up a Mossberg 835 ultta mag 12 ga today.

    Yes, it will shoot 2 3/4" shells just fine, I've shot 22's- 23's with a 24" barrel at the trap range with mine, I wouldn't shoot a 3 1/2" out of mine again for money!!:)

    Cleaning old reloading equipment.

    Mineral spirts and a Nylon brush is where I'd start! If need be move up to Lacquer thinner and a stainless steel brush.

    30-30 I picked up a very nice 1988 Marlin 336 in 30-30. Still working on powder and bullet weight, trying to get down to a sub 2" group.
