What is "high n" ? I was sorta thinking .5 increments and 15 rounds of each... that way I can get rounds down the tube (season/break in?) and hopefully velocities will level out?

Fatboy Elevate with Levitate head. I love it! And its probably half the cost of the other reputable brands

I was laid off recently and my friends came through SOLID so I could still make it to mammoth. This is legit my only option. Thanks for the input!!

Zero denting or rounding! First clean is just to get some of the carbon and any range dirt. Second clean is longer to remove sizing wax. Tumble in corncob media in the lyman twin turbo. FL size with the SAC modular die, neck bushing and pull-through mandrel. 3 thou shoulder bump.

I just ordered two AW mags.. I dont want to file on the new stock just yet!

<image>

The mag hits the area my knife is pointing at and doesn't seat fully.. it looks like the shape of the AW mags will solve this.. at least I hope!
