Compass in the buttstock. If you set the rifle on a perfectly flat surface you could almost differentiate between North and West.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Evil Black Cop Killer Bullets.
As I understand, the original plan at WW was to name this bullet "Black Widow," but somebody in the marketing department said, "Uhhhh....."

I only saw one in the wild. Back before Gander Mountain went TU. Pretty sure it was that - I remember my dad sorta looking at it. Got a Coyote M70 in 22-250 instead.

Does Krieger still do that to all their blanks? I know they used to.

Saboted rifle bullets. In theory you can get much higher velocities. Remington marketed saboted .22s in 30-06 and 30-30. Somehow the idea failed in the implementation.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump. Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I still use moly. For me it's easy. I had an industrial accident, spilled maybe a teaspoon of water into my plating tumbler drum unaware I'd done so. What a mess. But, after I retumbled the bullets in a dry spare drum with some sacrifice shop rags, they were the shiniest, slickest things ever. No neck welding EVAH. Shortly after, Mic McPherson wrote of his similar discovery, more deliberate. But since then, I've tumbled bullets with a pinch of moly and a sneeze of water. It's usually pretty dry where I live, if I don't shoot or don't plan on it for a while, I'll dampen a patch with Kroil or even just good old 9 and that takes care of any rust fuzzing. Did have that once. I've got a bunch of good loads, a bunch of good rifles that shoot fine and clean easy, so I guess it works for me. TROUNDS! Oh yeah. Them.
