You will know it's too much when you see it... :thumbup:

Scheels is likely to charge an arm and a leg lately.

Any revolver with a transfer bar gets a full load of cartridges.

Carrying a working amount of fouling in any gun is a gamble. While I like keeping the odds on my side, I have never been overly OCD about it. The fact that a firearm functions fine after a 200 round training session is a reasonable observation. I would feel the need to clean and inspect after...

Glock 43, and an extra mag. IWB kydex holster. Pants on, gun on.

The Weatherby working pressures are 65,000 psi. I would not be comfortable with that. The scope holes in the receiver ring are not looking good.

I'm in the 45/70 camp. Having owned pistol caliber carbines and sub machine guns, they are fun...for a while. A lever 45/70 rifle is more useful, and reloading keeps shooting costs low...and you can hunt with it. Meat damage on a deer/hog size animal is less that a lot of bottleneck cartridges.

For me, that's it in a nutshell. Summon police, render aid to the injured or wounded. Be a good witness.

If you need the time to rack a round or cock a hammer in the woods, the deer won't kill you. If you are pointing a gun at yourself and incur a discharge, you inappropriately have your finger on the trigger, and you need more training.

Funny how people carry their deer rifle in condition one, but are hesitant to carry a defensive/duty pistol in the same condition.

Classic load, classic gun. Very nice!

You could do a whole heck of a lot worse... nice rig!

I would suggest NuFinish in your tumbling. If it persists, maybe a rechargeable desiccant like DryTote desiccant packs, and airtight containers. Available on Amazon.

It looks like 762x54r. Yellow tip = heavy ball Common Mosin ammo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9754mmR

Another solution to a nonexistent problem. I am sure the Bloods, Crips, and the Sinaloa Cartel are at a total standstill now.
