Very nice Gabe!
That’s about right we’re my 20 Duster is with 32s, definitely a good node.
I mostly shoot pd’s with the 40 VMax with that case though at about 3750fps.

Makes me want to dig out my Coopers and see how they do. Shot quite a few varmints in Montana and Wyoming with my VarTargs. Definitely a great cartridge. I bet your AI version gets some nice speed...

17 ah 15”
I shoot a Contender built by Fred Smith and it rivals some of my rifles in the accuracy dept. As a rule of thumb you loose between 20-50 FPS per inch of barrel as they get shorter. My XP100 in 17...

I appreciate you sharing the link. Primers are even more costly than I previously thought.
My heart goes out to that worker and her family.

Cha-Ching is right $$$
Glad I still have some W-W for my 17Ackley Bee and my He-Bee.

I really like what they make for both rifle and handguns so far.
