    What subsonic straight wall cartridge for whitetail? Not 45-70 or crossbow

    Hoosier national Forrest

    One of the most basic beginners gunsmith projects, no machine tools required, just some common sense. Do your homework and give it a shot, my advice for a first timer is to do it in steps, if your not happy with it you can always Dremel it out and start over. Primary concern on your first try is...
