[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 2881295, member: 103471"] I feel your frustration. I had built a 33xc. Had super high hopes. All for naught... Using 3 different powders, 2 different primers, couldn't get what I believed I should have been getting velocity wise. 30in K and P barrel. Horrible copper fouling. 15 shots equaled several hours of hard *** work to get it clean. If I didn't, pressure would raise its ugly head. The 338-378 Weatherby would push those same 250 Bergers along at 150fps faster using less powder thru a 31in Lilja. The 33 shot well, but it was ****ing me off to spend money on components for unsatisfactory performance. After 500rds thru it, I quit shooting it, and ordered a 34" Lilja. I learned a lot, tho....
