[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 546903, member: 22242"] Oliver I can see how you take offence to Kirbys posts however as a reasonable human being I can clearly see that your young pride is leading you to take offence. Someone correct me if I am wrong but the way I see it is Kirby sees a young kid with a surprising amount of knowledge and get-go. but can also see from his own experiences that there is a very good chance you were about to blow that rifle up in your face. He gave you many examples of his own experiences to try and "prod" you into coming to the correct conclusion on your own without being pushy. You need to realize you have 65,000psi by your face and that is not to be taken lightly. As Boss Hoss said there is no free lunch. Yes there are fast barrels but not that fast! Then when it was observed that your velocities were coming down Kirby mentioned that he found it funny that your increasing experience was bringing you back down to expected velocities and you get very defensive. I am young myself at 28 and I have certainly done more load development and expiramenting than you have and I still put a LOT of stock in what the guys like Kirby, LTLR, Boss Hoss etc have to say. Everytime I take on a new project I learn something new. even if its just a factory rifle with a simple hunting load. each time it is different and you should always be able to take something away from it. I am glad you are having fun with your VooDoo, but remember taking a piece of advice you dont really want is always better than loosing a piece of your face because you didnt listen. But it looks LIke you did come to the right conclusions on your own and that is something to be proud of. Just be safe and keep shooting [/QUOTE]
