Agreed on the safety hole being a smidge low, it doesn't take much at all to throw things out of whack.

It's still there. Press the menu button on your phone while in the tab where you input your current environment, target distance, etc. It'll pop up along with a few other options.

My county got several M4's, an armored truck (WTF), and 2 Grenade Launchers (again......WTF). The item that bothers me the most.....................a fucking parka. No doubt it was for Eddie Cathy's fat ass, and there's no way he's getting out in the rain. That parka is probably rotting in his...

You don't like this kid very much I take it.

Agreed, it's 100% not a neck clearance issue. Op, drop the charge 1.5 grains or even 2 and rework it. You're way past sane pressure levels there.

No, you'll destroy the magazine. The spot welds need to be drilled out with a 1/4" drill bit, then the front plate can be removed and the holes tig welded closed to keep the nose of the bullets from hanging up in there. Or what I did was drill out the spot welds and epoxied a piece of .035"...

I ran 123 Amax's and 140BTHP's in my 20" 260 with H4350 with good results, but the 130's would have been an outstanding choice as well. 2800fps is doable with 4350 I would think, I had 140's over 2700 easily with a load that wasn't hard on the brass.

I'm with BoilerUp. None of them have been great examples of anything the actors in them have done, but rather something to watch when you just want to have a laugh and see shit explode. I feel sure they had no intentions of becoming gleaming beacons of cinematic history, but rather that mole on...

It's possible that the chamber dimensions are too tight in the neck for you to run Lapua brass unless you turn the necks. Take a piece of once fired Lapua and see if you can slip a projectile into the neck, if not then you'll have to turn the necks down a couple thousandths to get them the room...

Got a set on my G17, can't say I have anything bad to say about them. Narrow front + wide rear notch to let plenty of light into your sight picture, nothing on the rear sight to distract you from where you should be focusing, and that big orange ball up front screaming "hey stupid, up here, look...

Never tried the VMax, as they were too long to feed in my AR, but the 87gr BTHP's served me well in my 24" 9 twist 6x45. Pushing them right up around 2900fps with 8208XBR spelled bad days for many coyotes and anchored them with authoritah. That same load served me pretty well out to 775(ish) in...

Always dial your elevation back to zero after completing a stage and before going to the next stage in a match. I didn't do this at Woody's last year and on the range estimation stage, I sent a 123gr Amax about a mil and a half over the 300 yard target. Instead of looking at my dial, I counted...

Left the chrono at home for the last couple range trips, one less thing to mess with setting up, and ended up finding a damn fine load at 42.4gr R17 pushing the 130 VLD's. David cut the chamber with a 260 Remington Match reamer which lets me seat the Bergers at 2.870" for .022" jump and doesn't...

That last primer pocket reminds me of a girl I met outside Ft Leonard Wood........ Back on topic. I've had good luck with H4350 in the 243 as well.
