Re: The X Ring survival reloader.
Does anyone make anything similar for a 10 gauge? I have recently acquired a Zabalos Hermanos Eibar 10 gauge side by side imported by rRichardson Arms co. 32 inch full and full choke. I need to do a post on it, good story goes with it.

None taken, I've been averaging 1/2 inch to an inch with the 6.5 at 100 but I also only use a front bag and no rear bag, rifle on the shoulder on so the rifle probably moves more.

Took the 1885's out for some fun yesterday. 6.5 Creedmoor and the .38-55
Yeah, I know the Creedmoor is a new fad cartridge but when you stick it in some Walnut and Steel I get weak. It actually shoots very well and not much recoil, was just having fun so no targets to show.
