1. Short action, swap out the magazine box/follower to a standard 2.8" short action.
2. I'm using a 1:8 Rock Creek for 75gn A-max's. The little bugger was pretty impressive in the wind yesterday vs. my 270Win/140TSX load and 2 pard's 300Win/168TTSX loads.
3. I'm running a naked bore, contemplating UBC, haven't decided yet.
4. Coyotes, steel, rocks, and a deer.
5. Mine likes WW760 and Ramshot Hunter for top velocity and accuracy. ~3300fps via 24" bbld.
