Those are actually the brass you sent me.

Loaded up some Hornady 45-70 brass with FTX 325 grain and 47.0g of VIHT 120.

I am happy to report I am still alive with all my fingers intact. All rounds fired off well with no issues - .303 British, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7.5 x 54mm French. Gotta start pumping out more rounds once I get home from work :)

That wannabe ghetto trash with the braids should be the poster child for abortion/planned parenthood.

He told me that he actually closed it down and only does business out of his NJ shop now.

I didn't tap that screw, just found one that fit. I suppose if I REALLY wanted to worry about getting a flathead that badly I could go waste time at Home Depot and sit there and find one that fits. I'd rather use that time to finish the stock. Hopefully by tomorrow the stain will have set and I...

Not sure what the thread pitch is. I just checked random screws I had laying around.
