Valium helps a little. :lol:
I only brought the one packet of factory cases, just cause I could. Will neck down .300 Weatherby cases for main use.
Only a few more weeks now.
Have projectiles, 4kg of powder on order and rings coming soon.
Getting itchy trigger finger. :auto:

Very purdy indeed. $94 worth of purdiness.

90 grains per shot means I should get around 670 something shots per 4kg tub (I did get exact numbers but can't be arsed looking for them at this time of night).
Then as Mark has suggested I'll need to start thinking about a new barrel.

Nice. Should be a real fun weatherby to use.

Only 3 are Mark V's (.257, 6.5-300 and .340).
The others are bastard children of mixed creed. .300 Wby is actually a Rem 700 XCR, the .240 and 7mm are both Winchester Mod 70's.
