[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 266220, member: 2011"] Whoo Hooo Initial results are lookin good!!!!! Micrometer is reading spot on, but the mike's quality is a bit questionable. But I've calibrated it against some 'standards' and she's pretty good. Bullet grow only a little in length. I'll know better after Friday night when more of my tools are delivered. They are being driven down from Idaho along with my wife. Don't know which I'm more excited about. Wife or the Allen Mag?:rolleyes::rolleyes: I'll shoot some shots next week to get a feel for myself then send them out to the list. 168s to the WSM guys (unless there's someone who wants to launch large slow projectiles) and 168s and 180s to the AM guys. We want to see the max velocity that these things will take with out dusting or becoming distorted. Symptoms of dusting is obvious (no dust on the back stop and no hole in the target :D). Symptoms of distortion/twisting in the throat is banana shaped groups this occurred with WC 195s a few shots before they started to dust. Another symptom is groups grow proportionally with the amount of jump to the rifling. However, the groups are never small even with jamming. This is pretty exciting, at least for this old poop.:) [/QUOTE]
