Wasn't stepping on toes .
I spent some time with Tim . He's less ........forward in person . More idea context amiable too .
Somebody said "intonation gets lost in text" , I think he writes on the phone too . Maybe he's just a guy you have to get to know to get to know . Then again I've spent most of my life around a 40% population of abrasive people so maybe I just don't let it bother me much .
I've struggled with 30 cal making velocities over 2000 fps .
1 rifle due to throat , leade shape , twist etc just ain't going to happen .
The other a 308 may make it . I haven't really worked it much , it has some quirks that actually make the XCB a prime choice if I can get it fat enough for the leade . Among it's oddities is that 100-168 gr bullets are pick a load stuff the case and get good groups . Break 175 gr , it ain't happening . Yaw , 12" groups , and even when a 180 is shorter than a 150 that shoots great .
In 30-30 I've had zero difficulties reaching jacket speeds but those are much lower than 308 , 06' etc . I have a 7.7 Arisaka but I have to get some issues fixed there before I can even think about it .
