Custom clearance is the only way to go, avoid the wait and the hassle that could occur

FYI, If the Silver to Gold ratio ever gets to 110 to 1 you should back the truck up and buy all the Silver you can afford.Even sell Gold to finance it.

All Silver gurus say anything above 90 to one,but at 110 it's a no brainer.Right now there are a lot of people buying at 100 to 1.That's the only thing that is making Silver rise with Gold right now.

That’s some useful info, thanks

Very nice looking rifle!

Looks like a good combo!

There could be a slight bearing surface difference of bullets, which could change pressure. I would think more about the shape of the bullet changing the distance off the lands. If your close, it may put one into the lands raising pressure. Seating your bullets per-manual depth you should be fine

It was bad here yesterday! Gusts reported at 87 mph. All major roads closed. Big pile up by Amarillo. Ugly day

Does Amarillo still have radio station KMED? They used to advertise it as the station that brings gentle overnight relief.

Hahaha, haven’t heard of it!

The NOCO chapter is very active with youth programs and women’s programs. I have helped with the pheasant hunts, providing pointing dogs.
I donated one of Paige’s pup to the chapter, for action at the Banquet. The pup raised $1700 for the chapter.
I had a friend buy a few tickets for me, because l was busy showing and answering questions about the pup. He put the tickets in his name, just easier for him to fill them out. One of the tickets own a Henry leveler action 22!

We are right on the edge of town. See and hear coyotes a lot. Seen one the other evening, pulled out of the driveway and one was running down the city street a half a block from the house
