Good, your cleaning and dressing had to be much less fragmatic than mine.
You know, back in the days before spinning turrets, speed helped.
In those days I used an early (with genuine McMillan) Fibermark in 7mm WM.
Bet that was a cool old gun, I bought one of the then new pacific research classic style stocks for my newly built custom mk-v in 338-378, it sported a 28" stainless Shilen air gauged match barrel, I then began to strive for 3400 fps with the 250 gr Partitions using H-50BMG and AA-8700 powders.
IIRC my load wound up around 3385 fps, it was a killer bangstick for sure. ;]
