Now if I could just find a trigger puller!

I will be over soon Criver, I have a death in the family this week so I may not make it until next month.

And knowing me, I will burn up the first barrel during load development!

Thanks German, I really appreciate the kind words.

Parent case is the 243 winchester. 30 degree shoulder, tweaked body size and taper, beefed up the neck to .013 per side. Capacity wise, a whole lot like the 243 AI to drive those big VLD's but a much better shoulder for my use and a heck of a lot better to fire form.

I will email you the reamer print so you can take a look at the details.
