    Cordite liked post by MB On thread : Why should I buy a 17HMR?
    Re: Killing capability of 22LR. I haven't shot as many hares/rabbits as some forum members, but it would be in the hundreds and I've yet to see an animal walk away from a head shot.

    For high volume shooting I would stick with the 22lr. Ammo is waayyyy cheaper and you'll be able to find an accurate one pretty easily. HMR is awesome in the wind if you're having to take longer...

    I shoot my hand-loaded .17 Hornet cheaper than using my HMR, but that will change once brass runs out!

    Just don't get lots of oil between the action & bedding as it can cause accuracy issues

    Cordite liked post by Jhon On thread : surrender your FAL
    I don't think this is anything new. If you have an FAL you can at any moment acquire a firearm. Therefore you must have a mechanism for safely securing it. While that does not encompass the question...

    Cordite liked post by bigbear On thread : surrender your FAL
    This is the reason farmlands got out of selling ammo, it wasn't the issue of all staff needing a FAL it was all staff needed a safe at home to hold a FAL
