No pressure. 6-8 shots on the brass now with tight pockets. Annealed after first 2 shots.

Sako AV custom 24" with mag-na-port, B&C bedded stock, Timney trigger 2lb. Elk, hogs and deer. 168gr Berger VLD, when I do my part right .5 MOA.
 
Remington 700 Classic/Timney trigger, 1/8 Brux 24" bbl w/brake. 70gr H1000, 180 Berger, CCI250 primers. Around 2900 fps at the muzzle. Still need to experiment with some 160gr Partitions and Accubonds I have for deer. Vortex 4-16x44 HSLR in Tally mounts seems to get the job done at even extended hunting ranges (600-700 yards).
