[QUOTE="jmden, post: 310187, member: 1742"] Thanks for the good info, Autorotate. I've got over 1100 barrel burning hi-pressure rounds through the pipe on this thing, so that may have a thing or two to do with it. Still getting good accuracy by chasing and seating at the lands though. Nice to have the 4" Wyatt's box. :) I wonder if the powder I have is a little slower than some of the new stuff as well. That's one reason I've got parts headed to Kirby for a 338AX...:D Haven't shot the 210's, but at 1/2 mile, the 240's put a 3/16" to 1/4" deep crater on my 1/2" mild steel plate. I think they'll still kill an elk at that distance... I remember how I paid $50 to have this nice, flat 18" square plate cut for me. First shot that hit it warped the whole thing. Wouldn't sit right on a flat surface anymore. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
