Cool video and excellent buck!

Ok so the above length to the ogive I made an idiot mistake and forgot to minus the comparator body from the measurement. The actual measurement is 2.975" to the ogive to the lands. Still way longer that recommended. The pic attached is of a dummy round i made just to verify and you can see...

Awesome congrats on your buck!

Awesome job!

Well USPS decided to ship my Midway order Via Puerto Rico so it just came in. I will check out the gun tonight.
