    One of the boys used to carry his new bar (crowbar we called it) 308 cradled in his arms, even when if he fell the rifle never hit the dirt. I tried that and caught my elbow on a rock, chipped the bone and 50 yrs later I can feel the chips there. Hey if you ever validate let me know if the stated bc is on or off.

    All the reading I've done so far suggests the advertised bc is pretty spot on but yes, when i get a chance i will let you know.
