    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    If you can't find the 160s the 180s will also do, although not as fun as the 160s.

    I know it. Thats why I have no use for that kind of load but it's still pretty impressive speeds for that kind of slug......

    Well thank you very much. In the process of acquiring another lathe with a longer bed and larger spindle bore. Going to do a longer stainless barrel when I get it.
