Grafs, Natchez, Midsouth and midway had it last week. I suppose it's gone.
Purely out of curiosity, what does that number 4 weigh?
Has anyone worked up loads more than those on Shermans data page?

Just in case anyone is interested. I took some 195 Gr Berger's out today with RL26 to try out with a CCI BR2 primer. Seated them to .040" off the rifling and did 61 Gr to 63.5 Gr and shot them to see what I would get.
61 Gr 2806 2820 2816. ES 14
61.5 Gr. 2859 2826 2858
62 Gr. 2873 2872 2875 ES 3 SD 1.4
62.5 gr. 2869 2880 2874. ES 12 SD 6.1
63 Gr. 2902 2906 2909 ES 7 SD 3.5
63.5 Gr. 2923 2938 2935 ES 15
63.5 Gr started to show a slight ejector mark. I could probably get to 2950 and be ok but I see no need. 2905 or around there will be fine with me. I'm going to play with 63 Gr. Will be a killer at longer ranges for sure.

Does anybody have any shot out, over annealed, basically trash 7max brass or 7 saum that I can make some snap caps with. I will pay for postage
It's a case with a spring loaded primer for dry fire. It's for those guys who believe dry firing their gun is bad for it?! I don't get it, was a fad or sales gymic 25 years ago.

Yes letting the striker down once in a while isn't hard on it. I am talking about 200plus dryfires a month for trigger control and training. That is definitely hard on a striker.

Has anyone built a 7 max off a tikka and found a mag solution? The factory L mag works with empty cases but it's super tight with 3 rounds and the bolt rubs pretty hard when there's 3 rounds in the mag.
I recieved the hells canyon billet mag and it doesn't work If the bolts closed, i cant even insert the mag with 3 rounds in it... Either the bolt has to be open or only 2 rounds in the mag. I talked to Mike and Hells canyon and he believes it's a inlet issue with the factory stock and bottom metal. Which seems believable.
I ordered a Mountain tactical billet mag to see if that works but it's on backorder so it will be a while before I can test it. Ive also been reading how people are having issues with the rears collapsing in the MT mags but not sure if that's the gen1 or gen2. Has anyone used the gen2 MT billet mag with the max case?
