wyoguide,

I do crimp my loads into the bottom of the first relief groove and it seems to work well. Please report when you get back from your trip. I wonder if you will recover any bullets, maybe not but of course give us a full report on how the rifle performs.

Mr. Atkinson,

What you have previously mentioned about a few fps more won't make much of a difference rang true for me. If I did think I needed to squeak out a few more fps than I probably should have went with a .416 instead of a .375, at least that is the way I am looking at it. I did want a certain threshold of power, once I met that I wanted good accuracy. The rifle is shooting well from the bench or sticks, with enough fps to do the job using the 235 grain for lighter game and the 270 grain TSX for heavier game.

Thanks for the pm by the way and I am looking forward to looking at the material.

Manny
