New to forums and I need some good advise
« on: January 04, 2006, 03:30:28 PM »
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

Take care and God Bless

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.
