    Hello All, From NW Ohio

    Thanks everyone! zwiller we are practically neighbors, I live Fremont. I haven’t used a gun for sticks, which would have been easier on my wallet.

I guess I’m looking for advice on my set up and process. The ration was 70/30 in 17mm casings. I have a MES40 that I just retro fitted with...
