“canister powder “ generally refers to the powder manufactured exclusively for the ammunition company for a specific purpose/cartridge. The extruded powder does have a better temperature stability than ball powder, so a max load developed in spring could still be safe in the heat of summer.
It might just be a little rough that will eventually smooth out, or it might just need a little polishing/honing by the mfr. Yeah. I know some people who just wrapped steel wool or green scotchbrite around a 45 ACP brush with some oil and "buffed it out, but I would contact the vendor. No sense...
Uh, yes, he knew it needed to be turned down behind the threads....The question the smith was asking (in addition to what diameter/length to turn down) was the transition: squared 90 degree? Angled (what degree)? Chamferred? Hence asking who might know how to do it right. I'll start with the...
So who is able to do it correctly? My local trustworthy smiths can do it, but don't have the correct specs and would need a diagram/specs. Any suggestions for smiths or correct diagrams?
Yeah, it sounds like you made an effort and tried to beat factory. No way will LAX or Freedom be better. Stick with Hornady Match since you have good luck with it. Edit: Whatever happened with the Prime/RUAG debacle?

SWFA has good "basic" scopes for reasonable prices. Used can be found here, arfcom, eBay, etc. https://swfa.com/scopes/swfa-ss/ Used Vortex Viper PST Gen 1 or Gen 2 would provide you with another slightly better scope choice.
Yeah, maybe their engineers learned that from Remington's lawyers in the 1980's.....Regardless, most (of course not all) modern projectiles as mentioned above are quite jump tolerant.
