    I bet you will find the 7mm08 with cast boolits to perfect.

    Hope you give us a good write-up when you get all the components, and have time to work up a good load.
    I will do a write-up, with some pictures.

    This will be a nice diversion for me; I've been laid off for over a month and have been working on my house. I look forward to time at the loading bench and the range.

    Hope the work picks up. I'm a retired equipment operator from coal mines, so I know what you are going through.

    Thanks for that.

    I supervise the construction of commercial buildings but I have an extensive background in residential work. I'm seriously considering a change because these layoffs happen too often. I would love to find something more enjoyable than babysitting cheap, unmotivated subcontractors.
