first one didn't quite cut the neck deep enough and about .050 of the neck was actually out into the rifling, so I have ordered a new one with a bit longer neck. Other than that it is working great in an AR-10. Lots of power and should give us a considerably more power than the 250 Savage or the 257 Roberts but in a semi auto. This is our first cartridge that I have developed for a semi auto rifle, so I am anxious to see it get perfected. We have the dies, but I want to get the neck problem solved first before we really start to push it.
