A lot of advice is given on this forum. Some good, some bad. Most importantly everone is trying to help and/or learn.
It would be nice/helpfull if feedback was given by those using the advice. Did they try advice A or B, what was the outcome, what can others learn from this???
Please note, this is not directed at any-one in particular, just a general comment.
I often see a lot of suggestions being made, but never a word back from the original poster, which leaves a person wondering how it all turned out.

Nice Idea 8shots,  some of the best advise I recieved so far was to try kahles scopes, up until this forum, I normaly used nikon or leupold scopes because I assumed they were the best in the $500.00 class.  By the suggestions of other I've I tried kahles and and I can "clearly" see the difference.  Thanks again to this forum.

Still working on the advice I have recieved. Just trying to get the time to finish up at the loading bench and get to the range to test for results. I plan on posting my results as soon as I have them.
Good idea 8, helps sort fact from friction.
Hey merc, when did you get the second star?

I know where you are coming from, 8-shots. It is kind of frustrating to type up a long answer, especially for a slow typist like me, and never hear a word in reply. You don't even know if the Original Poster even bothered to read your advice!
  I think that if you ask specific questions, espicially when starting a new topic, it 's a matter of common courtesy to check back daily for at least a week and at least acknowledge the advice given. I hope that I haven't been guilty of failing to do that too often here, and if so I apologise...

I think the feedback that I've gotten from guys like Mike, mojo and ghost are great. I really appreciate that.
I haven't received any hate mail, yet. I work on it, though.
Thanks for the positive remarks, Mike.

I always appreciate the info I get from that foreign dude Skunk, that guy really knows his stuff.  If he would just learn how to type.

 That was absolutely classic, wasn't it?  I still laugh out loud every time I think about that kid!
 
 
Actually that entire thread is one of very few that I originally posted as a new topic since I've been here, and I am very proud of it, and humbly grateful for all the great advice I received from so many helpful folks!
