[QUOTE="TXAoudadKlr, post: 2434136, member: 67390"] Yeah it’s Kirby’s The shoulder is a touch more forward and different angle to the XC The HCM well we saw how that thread went on it I believe. Kirby has his thoughts on it but I’m not going to share them. That and I never understood building a light super mag chambered rifle. So mine has a 34” barrel. It didn’t hit pressure even with 2 grains above its current load but didn’t gain velocity. Which suggests to me it’s still burning and a longer barrel is need for additional velocity. Which seems reasonable Kirby’s 338AM needs a 34” for full burn and anything after that only nets minimal increase per inch I believe 3500fps is very do able with the 230gr A-Tips as it sits. [/QUOTE]
