Thanks, RR RR You could do like I did when I saw that the alum carriers weren't the way to go. Take yer brass one, set up yer drill press chuck up a small end mill in it and turn the rpms up and mill away at all the thick places. After milling and drilling for over an hour and a half, I found I had lightened the carrier by about a gram!! Ain't no place left to cut weight, but it looks cool and I tell everyone it is lighter. (I do like the feel of the brass compared to the Coors can carrier.) Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like hat and boots - short sleeves OK - pants of some sort - Not getting overheated is important We are going to shoot the pigeon-pitchin' poppers! I know these are among your favorites Big Boyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
