First I would like to say hello to all the fellow H&R NEF users. I received a Handi rifle .308 for christmas and so far im very impressed. I Lapped the barrel this evening and "O" ringed it. I also plan to make some other modifications like changing the stock and forend. But here is where in lacking in knowledge about the weapon. I would like to find a good on the shelf ammo to use in it until I can learn to reload. I would appreciate any advise on Ammo you would be glad to offer.

Thanks so much for the advise and the help.

God Bless

Quick,just curious,which calibers do you NOT have in a handi (that it's offered in)? (I woulda bet a large sum of money you had a .308?

?)

also what calibers have you had made for one?

I found the sticky note on polishing the chamber. I can't seem to find JB bore cleaner any where around in the area I live. I just want to make sure that I do the procedure correctly and not mess up my Handi.

God Bless

Flitz works well,also.......it's also used for polishing symbols so you may find it in a music shop that sells drum sets...I found it in a hardware store...also check outo stores and wal-mart
