Re: Best Sight for Accuracy?

I personally prefer a small peep aperture, for me, it is more accurate. A larger peep can be good for those with failing eyes. poor vision, or in lower light conditions.

Re: Guns in the workplace

To continue the bear jokes in the other forum, I saw a cartoon, with two bears eating a picnic lunch, spraying bear repellent on their food, as a condiment.

Re: 1898 Feed Issue

My 1898 will not feed the fifth round from the magazine. I have been told, it is the fault of a weak magazine spring. Perhaps this may be an issue.

Thanks, great picture. I sent it to my cat loving friends, warning them, do not let your cat drive under the influence of cat nip.

New Hornady match

Has anyone seen, or tried Hornady's new aluminum tipped match bullets? They are advertised to be superior to the plastic tipped bullet, because the weight of the bullet is placed for better accuracy.

Re: 30-40 projectile choices...

My Krag shoots 180, and 220 grain bullets very well, these are the only bullets I have tried, both round nose.
