Thanks for asking. The 40s are all 375rum based, and the 50 is rugby. Blown out to make wider headspace, and then shortened

Now there are 2 XP capsticks we shot some Barnes Banded Solid Bullets 500 Grain Flat Nose bullets at 2440 FPS yesterday. Here is what Steve has to say. "We didn't have but twenty bullets between us. Some 400's and 500's and two different powders. So this is Erics first two and my first two at 100 yards. Glad I wasn't betting against him"
