should i get the barrel and action nitrided? thinking of a harder carbon steel if i go that route.

but getting the logistic train side of thing sorted.. jugs of Ramshot TAC and 75gr bthp and cci 400's??

any combination is on the table. been hiking a bunch training for a tahr hunt. good thing to ponder and forget the suck.




Have a Kali 7" RPM 223 SALAMI,laying in a box of Mail I need to open. Lever and 88gr Smooches for me. Hint.................

I do too from a montana rebarrel. I really need to get it out and work a load up. Everything is waiting on me so I have no excuse. Starline brass for this one 88’s lever 400’s. I seem to remember you mentioning 24.5 is a place to start with.

I need to get a 6ARC out too. It’s setting on go too other than the new floor plate that’s ordered.
