I had the other 35p and when I put my pro chrono on top of it there was an average of 3fps in the results. I sold the 35 and put the loot towards an annealler which is a way more useful tool. I...

Interesting, didn’t realise they had been replaced and sounds like the replacement isn’t as good? Stick with the knowns for now I think. Thanks

They sure put in the yards, In one of Ross Curtis's books he wrote of a walk he did in two days carrying green deer hides, I have done almost the same walk in 5 and I thought I had done well. Nope.

"Pack and rifle" is my top pick of all time. I've not read any of the new crop (last couple of decades).
