    Things had stalled when I went to install the scope and found one of the bases was crooked, so I took my annoying little problem to @Jaco Goosen and his patience and expertise found that the front base was .136" offline, which he corrected perfectly.
    While there asked him to fit the suppressor, and he added an expertly machined and beautiful thread protector.
    I also requested a modification of a 7x64 Lee case gauge to the length I required, about 59.8-59.9mm or thereabouts from a pre-made case, and he did a perfect job of that one too.
    Once load development is somewhat finished it will be back to Jaco's place so he can have a shoot!

    Since I also recieved a half box of Lapua .30-06 cases from Tony @ tenpointone, next week will be forming & trimming some more cases, and back into load testing.
    Another update soon..
