    Most .22 LR barrels are just mild steel and Tig would do just fine. I gas weld them and reset the chamber back to standard specs and it works just fine with no repair visible (it does require a...

    In 1966 we were issued the hollow-pointed .303 ball which came in cases of 750 rounds and it did the job fairly well. The NZFS .270 was issued in 130 grain for the more open and longer range shooting...
