I agree, with 26 a 140 Nosler at 2900 doesn’t seem like I’m beating anything up. I’d probably Improve if building from scratch though, just to never worry about trimming. I’d bet Gunner can find a smith to make it feed slick.

You’re right though, in a regular LA a Swede OR Improved Swede should feed, allow you to put Bullets where you want and be a dream to load for with Lapua brass.
