    That's one way to make sure you have brass to reload......

    BTW, you might just as well send that barrel to me so I can give it a proper burial, it'll never shoot straight.....

    barrel is sold pending funds but you can have the next one LOL.

    i did spend 3 hours last night preping a 100pcs of new lapua brass for this new barrel it just needs to be tumbled dried and neck sized and its ready to load...my big dilemma right now is i have an 8lb jug of norma MRP that ive loaded 10 rounds out of and it showed promising groups with great velocities...or do i just go right to the go to loads i know should make this barrel shoot.

    well...lets put it this way...i shot 3300 rounds through the first barrel on this rifle...i found a load in the first 50 rounds that i shot at matches so id guess 2200 or so of those rounds was testing other powders,primers and bullets...i have data on 600 rounds fired doing testing on primers that might surprise you.

    im funny like that...once something is working im bored and either move on or try to improve it...so i guess ill go with the new fish finder LOL!!

    LMAO...my problem is i cant leave well enough alone!!

    actually my problem is i dont believe most of what i read(and depending on who im talking to)less of what i hear....hence the reason i basically shot out 2 barrels and wore out a chrony testing primers,powders and brass...i like to KNOW how things work.
