Hey Borkon

I'm not sure if you ever told us the full specs on that 17-204 of yours ... could you please? It has got my interest. Never done a custom, but always trying to find a reason!

And what is that in his other hand? Oops, a little late on the draw.

Shortdraw, you're the man! Thanks for posting that. That VLD is just plain wicked looking. I like the looks of that 25gr H-G. Much experience shooting many critters with that bullet?
 
I haven't shot anything with the soft points but I'm told they have quite a bit heavier jacket than the other stuff. The customs on the bottom are hand made. The jackets are made from 22lr brass. Pretty cool. I'll dig out some Kindlers and the 25 Nagels the next time I dig. I know I have more selection as well. I have a 13 gr copper hollow point coming that should be [beeep] on magpies and crows.

Chan is out of business until Berger will sell reasonable amounts of jackets. They have a 100,000 piece minimum order right now, maybe indefinitely. As much as I love Berger bullets, I really hate them right now.
