thanks Mitch,......that's exactly what I was thinking...wonder where a 140 and 160 Accubond would sit with the base of the bullet at the base of the neck...?..probably pretty close to the TTSX you pictured....

this Ruger might be a better deal in 284 than 280....and I might have time over the holidays to get it done....
