Thanks Bruce,

I am keen on it--the more I looked into it the more I was captured, especially after seeing veterans as we have here who are still tweaking everything. As a do-it-yourself-er I couldn't ask for more. Finally got to shoot her today, and all I can say is wow. What a feeling. Never felt this kinda shove (rather than kick), and even though it's way more time-consuming to get a shot off, it's also that much more satisfying. The time b/t shots is a space full of things that I need. Dunno what else to say, other than that the group was tight enuf for me to be happy w/ the barrel--from 415 gr up to my own 535 loads. Cheers, Doug

doug,
what would be the biggest bullet you can seat in a case and still chamber a round?
that is the goal.
keep safe,
bruce.

Well Bruce, I had an epiphany after your words kept bangin around in my empty head, decided to try the largest bullet, a 550 gr in .458 that I just got from Montana Bullet Works, into one of my fire formed brasses, and wouldn't ya know. It seats w/o the die. It didn't of course fit the others, but it's all beginning to sink in. Sorry for all the trouble and unnecessary confusion, but I hadn't been able to shoot her until yesterday and now that I have I'm beginning to gather the tools that I need to work with (experience). My next assignment is to fire all 200 rounds I've put together so that I can have usable brass. Cheers, Doug
