Sunset over the farm tonight.

Agreed on Coppersmiths, and yes you have to have a customs broker.

Agreed, seems very odd. Almost certainly had to be spec’d by a customer.

I’m guessing that it is regulated for a 286 gr bullet. You may be pushing a rope trying to get it to shoot 250s. A note to your original post, the Woodleigh is on the soft side of the premium bullets. It would likely be my first choice for your rifle.

We drained a bottle of 23 year pappy at a deal closing years ago. It’s very nice, but there is no way it is worth the price. Stick to Buffalo Trace!

About to pour myself some Noah’s Mill.
