Nice work! Have you ever tried tying your drag line around the lower jaw in the mouth and looping it over the whole snout? It keeps the head up higher when your dragging it and keeps it from snagging. I just recently started doing it that way and I like it better.

My 94AE is a 20" barrel with a full length mag tube. How many are supposed to fit in the mag tube? I have never loaded more than 5, and I don't have an owners manual - just curious - and I don't want to shove more than I'm supposed to in there. Any other opinions or comments are welcome.
