This is very interesting and disturbing to learn about! Do you have any updates? Did the Dr. ever remove that demon from your hand?

That is a beautiful rifle! What a great story!

<blockquote>Sounds like you found your magic load! Now... load up 40 or so rounds, and prepare to muster at Camp Perry for the Roosevelt Match soldier!!! ;D</blockquote><br /><br />Hopefully next year I can make it out there!

<blockquote><strong>GAB!!! </strong> That 42.5 grain load will crack your bolt lug!</blockquote><br /><br />I'm glad I decided to read some of these posts regarding 30-40 reloads.
