    Duleys done write up in last two magazines. Edition 100 and 101.
    Bloody in-depth wrote up. It’s a bloody good read.

    Tested one piece of ADG brass as well. Got 35 firings out of it before it wouldn’t hold primer.

    If Tikka bring out a factory version I’d definitely look at changing to 7mm cartridge.

    Close but he simply ran out of places on the rim to file notches. The pocket still held the primer well.

    Wouldn’t you just load and shoot one bit until it was done no need to notch it when it’s a test piece separating it would have being sufficient . I’m a huge fan of Adg for this reason

    It eliminates the risk of losing track of the number of times fired

    It’s also absolutely ridiculous to say you can’t keep one piece seperate for testing when your writing a review or an article for a magazine you literally have one job just load it shoot it load it shoot it dam site faster than pulling out a file each time probably could have fired it 3-5 times in the time that’d take
