    The whole reason that validates the "Crudmores" (of which I've run a couple and currently have a 6.5x47, its identical brother) is their ability to run long projectiles in true medium length actions...

    mimms2 liked post by K95 On thread : refill your disposable canisters
    Refilling camping canisters with LPG is extremely dangerous. There is a very good reason LPG and 100% Propane are stored in heavy steel vessels. DO NOT DO WHAT THESE GUYS ARE DOING!

    Agree with the sentiments. I don't mind paying a bit more to use local business, but not 10x more, especially when they are only a middle man selling Chinese-made goods. Customer service could do...
