[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 170445, member: 4885"] Thanks, the Teflon finish that Shawn Carlock put on, is so flat I can't hardly get a picture of the flutes to show up! It is awesome. When I ordered the rifle, I told Kirby "I want a huge slab brake, kinda like what you see on the front of an Abrams tank!" And thats exactly what it reminds you of. I am using the 300SMK's, since I'm a bit short on brass at the moment (bad lot from Jamison, that they are replacing). I am running a very mild load that was chrono'ing at 3275 last night. I'm on the 6th reload on one of the brass and only had to actually 'resize' it once. The first 5 loadings, I just resized the neck, but it was a bit hard to open the bolt the 5th time, so I pushed the shoulder back .002" and it loads right back up no problem. Once I get my stockpile of brass, I will probably shoot for 3350fps or so, but it really depends on the accuracy. There is really nothing I need to do, that I can't do at a mild load running 3275fps (thats more than 7100ft lbs at the muzzle and more than 2500ft lbs at 1500yds!) Nice mild load Kirby! I hope to stretch the legs on her a little this weekend. Thanks AJ [/QUOTE]
