mini-14

I already made the mini14 suck less just load developing, it really likes my 64gr tipped matchkings with a start load of H322. My Mini14 has had a lot of rounds through it. The gun is a 183 serries barrel is worn and was a bit pitted when I got it in the late 1990s. Then I got ahold of it and...
