Nails for trim. Not brads! Brads for small stuff. Metabo (Hitachi), Senco air. DeWalt seems good electric. I'm too old for all that. Paslode passed gas and left.

Pawn shops here are loaded with them.

I tried a 4A in the Swarovski 3-9x36 and really liked it. As others have said it seems to unclutter the view in the top half of the scope. I've since picked up a few more of the same scope and only bought the 4A models and passed up the duplex ones.

Look up fiat money and fractional reserve banking.

The US has been producing money (QE) out of thin air for a long time. Really went crazy in 2008 and not slowed since.

Artificially low interest rates are great for banks selling debt. Not so much for savers, forces them to send money into the wall street casinos or watch their cash holdings dwindle at the real inflation rate.

Don't have any experience with the AI version, but I had a Swede. Interesting round, ended up selling it off though in favor of the 6.5x57 Mauser chambered Gewehr 88/05 I'm building. Ballistically very similar, but the case does have an extra grain of capacity over the standard Swede and it uses the M88 case head, so necking down 8x57 brass works just fine instead of having to find Swede brass specifically

Sold!

Seeing him tell Powell, "Inflation, as we know, is too many dollars chasing too few goods" put the God help us stare on Powell's face. Kennedy is an entertainer with down home common sense, but only on social issues. Whether he and Grassly are just idiots or co-conspirators, or both is the annoyance.

Not whitetail but fallow which are of a similar size. The 100gn Swift Scirocco has performed well for me with 46gn H4350.

Allow me to try to unpack this.

Never clean, especially in a damp or salt climate, and you may eventually ruin the barrel. See Dan's post above. Build up of gunk may impede action functioning. You might get away with it.

Clean too aggressively, with the wrong equipment, and you will eventually ruin the barrel. No cleaning is better than bad cleaning.

If you really want to go down this rabbit hole, which I wouldn't recommend, check out Rimfire Central or the websites of barrel manufacturers. Heeding the recommendations in the owner's manual is a good idea.

FWIW, I have a custom .22 target rifle on order and I will damned well clean it. Very carefully.

Plain lead bullets lap, or polish the barrel. A good thing that never wears out a barrel. Copper coated bullets copper foul eventually bad enough to require removal by strong chemicals. Plain lead is most accurate anyway. Not everybody knows. The wax on some can gum things up and jam automatics.

I clean the chamber and just past to knock out the carbon ring on mine. Every 1000 rounds or so I'll run a wet patch with Butch's Bore Shine and 3-4 dry patches down the bore. Mine seems to stay the most consistent cleaning this way.

Can also try to find one of the old nikon buckmaster 1x. I put one on a 44mag scout setup.

I brush the chamber often. The bore much less often.

Nylon brush chucked in a drill for the chamber and lots of cleaner solution. I shoot lots of shorts in a LR chamber.

The bore gets a soak and pull a few tight patches through.
