[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2249923, member: 87243"] Well, minor set back.... If you notice in the photos, the brake was upside down. But, straitjacket made it right, and fixed it quickly free of charge, including new cerakote. Now to how it shoots!! Just got a chance to shoot some fireforming rounds tonight, zero load developement, just got some 160 HPBT Sierra Game Kings, loaded a 7 SAUM 160 grain middle load of IMR7828ssc, some winchester large rifle primers I have laying around, and set the ogive about .150" in front of the case mouth of the brass, as the throat of the standard 7 max is .205", just so I knew it wasn't jamming. Bottom right 3 is where it hit after a quick bore sight, then adjusted, and fired 10 rounds.....using a front sandbag on a 2x4 and a stapler as a rear rest ha ha. With that.....I think she's gonna shoot!!! I fired 25 tonight, the remaining 25 are for the wife, I just needed some brass to start load developement!
