It must be a cracker powder they use to get WSM energy out of a 308 sized case. And all burned in a 16".

What sort of primers can stand 80,000 psi ?


Ha ! Plenty of questions on this one !

Yeah all bloody good points, pretty interesting. I would definitely look at one of their rifles and depending on availability of components and more SAAMI offerings itd be very tempting.
