Re: Scope assistence requested
Hi Joe, Leupold base number is 50000 in matte, gloss is 50001. This is the one piece base, which is the style I have on my Rem M700, there will be no need to shim or square up your rings with this type. 2 piece you may have to shim or true up the insides of the rings. You can then get Leopold Standa...

Re: 375 H&H--why?
I have a couple of 9.3x62mm Mauser rifles, though not a 375 H&H, they come pretty close to it. I like that the 9.3x62 doesn't beat your shoulder up, which I think is due to the pressure being kept under 56,500 psi.

Hi,
Do you like the Liquid Alox? I have used it on 45 ACP, and it worked ok, but was very dirty. I gave up and just lubed with my sizer/lubricator.

I use aluminum cleaning rods, and try to be careful not to scrape the muzzle as I clean. I also use different bore cleaners, some to remove copper, some lead, and let them do the work, which I don't have to scrub with the rods as much as just using Hoppe's.
