[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 258016, member: 505"] txlongrange, I will sale you some cheap. I don't want to burst your bubble and hope you have great success with them. Here is my story with them. Like you I saw that high BC and went nuts over them. Ordered 4 boxes cause I got about 15 big 338's I like to shoot. I have built a lot of guns and believe me the ones I keep will shoot. I tried them in guns that will shoot anything good and some exceptional.
