May be a dumb question, but do the gunsmiths ever check custom actions for trueness, etc. before building on that action? Melvin Calliham

In a typical handgun silhouette match, I will use 3 boxes of eley Match, and one box of eley standard. I think you would be surprised at the number of us handgun silhouetters that use Eley Match, some use the Tenex. MC
