Yup and I have the paper work to handle it.
But this is something I rejected long ago. The mag Will-Not hold the cartridges very well. With a full mag slapped into the offside hand, the cartridges dump from the mag. And it being a kind-of a rimless 460... the case working back and forth (.473 to.480), in the sizing operation is to assure no more than three reloads and usually allot less. I for one hate incipient case head separations. I've been hurt by them. To say nothing to destroying the equipment.
This is a great exercise for the uninitiated, but for the Professional it is folly. I do have some cures and one day, I'll get to them, but even then it'll only prolly be a custom proposition..

That is a pure smack in the face "T" I hope you sue them good and the writer. I can't believe he had the gual to say it had quite a thump to it. There is only one true Thumper and we all know who invented it.
Nah, BBS..
I'm not the suing kind. All three/year that they'll make, makes suing a kind of non-sequitur (I'm trying to impress Hoot again). The profits from three or so weapons, won't pay for the lawyers they'll need when their customers start suing them for producing such tripe. No, if 308 length cartridge is in your dreams, give me the LM and it's far Superior Performance and total reliability. Right Gunny?!?!
