Re: LUBRICATING JACKETED BULLETS

Re: Savage lever in 30/30
I've always wanted a 99, but you just don't see them around here. Only one I've seen, sure considered buying was in 308, and it was almost mint condition. But I just don't want one in 308. If I ever find the one I want, it'll be identical to that, man that's perfection! In 30-30 or 300 Savage, and I...
