ripping chain

Hey guys, Have been poking around for the last hour or so on the site and haven't been able to find anything regarding this problem. I'll try to keep it short! I'm just getting started with chainsaw milling - recently bought a Stihl 291 MS, 18" bar. Calls for .325 - .050 - 74 chain. I have...
