All you need is a Christmas Tree Striker...I see some HST +P-230. A tad more momentum, about 15% more energy than the non-+PHST230, and slightly less expansion than the non+P (Lucky Gunners results anyway). Any special reason why you are using +P over non +P beyond the additional energy (which is nice)? And how is the recoil with it vs standard?

Here is another thing to add to your care-package, since you do a lot of shooting - you will love them.

I don't spend much time on cleaning bore's, but when I do I want it to be fast'n-easy. I don't scrub with a brass-brush, but I like to get some of the carbon out after each trip without stripping the gun. I was using the OTis cleaning patches (big round ones) which you pull through with the mini-cable. These mega-Q-tips work much better. A much, much, tighter fit in the bore and even the chamber. Just oil them up and push them through from the chamber end. The handles are very flexible but still strong enough. A lot of crap comes out with each pass (many-multiple's of what comes out with an otis pull through patch). The last pass you can run dry to get the oil out of just slightly oiled depending on your individual belief about leaving a film of oil in the bore...I got them in 45 and super.

Tried them for the first time last week - Amazing. I hate cleaning guns, only because it is repetitive and monotonous (like cleaning anything over and over is), so anything which expedites the process is a little "win" (rated 5 star's by shooters on Amazon):

Well I have one of those on order now, seems perfectly inline with how I like to clean. Thanks! I also leave the bore dry since my perfered cleaner (break free CLP) should protect it, I don't do this with precision rifles since it messes with them untill it's burnt off.

You are welcome. Based on the amount of shooting you do, I figured you would appreciate them.

I'm going super today at the range: Infinity (with 38S upper on it), CQB-38s, Turnbull manufacturers Commander-38s. WC 124, Geco 124 (hot stuff and fun), and maybe a few Rem 130 wimpy just to warm up (I get absolutely no enjoyment shooting the rem 130, I might as well be shooting a bb-gun). Up to 400 rounds today, with super pretty easy to do.
