Many thanks Mark.
I picked up Lapua brass, 139 Lapua Scenar's, dies and a few other odds and ends today, I have my eyes on the Vikings stock of H4831SC and N560 as a workable alternative. I built a couple of dummy rounds just to get everything set up so I just need the COAL and we are ready to Rock 'n Roll
I anguished over the Scenar's versus Amax versus SMK's all of which look very good on paper and opted for Lapua first for no reason other than I have always liked the consistency of Lapua but that I will try the others over the next few weeks.
