Not really that weird. Just was surprised how quickly the gun started yelling back at me about what it hates. I've had the same reamer and cases for at least 15 years. I've had that barrel for about 8 years now, not shot it much because I have two other .224 parts guns that are very, very good shooters.

This one shoots well, too, but it is finicky about how I "drive" it and it's more specialized than the others.

Missed the weather window and a big cold thing is swooping down on us for the duration, so I guess I won't be loading up THAT particular load when I'm bored this winter.


Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
