Well boys I’m finally on the board.
Finally got the issues sorted out with my 40-cal Savage prefit build, got some shots through it this weekend and boy am I happy so far. Consistent velocity, getting 2700fps with 200gr pistol bullet. Took a couple pot-shots at a steel I have hanging 245yd in my field and landed two bullets touching, third one slightly right (gusty corner headwind).
Can’t wait for deer season!

Good luck with your new venture.

Thanks Bill, that’s my plan to try out for next year yessir. Either a Pittman or maybe the Fury, haven’t decided yet but definitely interested in trying something similar that has a better BC than a potato haha
