Girls that want to look like this don’t “want to be guys”, they just like being strong and muscular
What most people don’t understand about girls who like to lift

1. They’ll never get fat… like all women

2. When they’re on gear, their sex drive is like a man’s not like a regular female that thinks sex once a year is OK.

3. They’re always preparing your own meals so they like to cook.

Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

Also, the ATV2.5 is fine for small charges under 50 grains or so. But I load 375CT and 50 BMG - it has to do 2-3 throws for 135 and 236 grain charges, and with the lumber logs, it gets all bound up and I have to waste a bunch of charges that are 20+ grains under. Too long to trickle up, so I have to dump them.

I have come to agree with the ATV3 + IPT guys - that's currently the best setup if you can cobble it together...

So is it sub moa or are you going to have to contact Howa?
It's shooting better than I expected. Wolf steel case is not exactly precision ammo....it's more in the category of "as long as it goes bang". I had to turn the barrel diameter down, always an accuracy killer. Plus, the barrel has the handguard, rear sight block, front sight, forend cap, cleaning rod, gas tube, and suppressor all attached to it. Hitting those clay pigeons at 100 yds with a red dot and steel case plinking ammo was an impressive feat in my book. The red dot completely covered the pigeon and I had to use the spotting scope to even see if I hit the pigeon.

I will say this as a public service announcement. I messed up the cocking piece in the bolt and called Legacy Sports International, the Howa distributor, to get a new one. They refused to sell me the part. They wanted to know if I was a "Licensed Gunsmith". Well things only deteriorated from there when I asked "licensed by who"? So I will never buy another product from Legacy Sports International, distributors for Howa, Citadel, Puma, Pointer, and Nikko Sterling.

I just went and welded up the old cocking piece.

Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

I have a v4 and love it. I use the shims and the plastic tip. I throw 87 grains of n568 in 12 to 15 seconds with very few over throws. The powder is big so I keep it within 86.98 to 87.04 and it's good. My sd and es are low. When getting the powder out I just take off the powder hoppet put it in the back open the window. Then turn the machine on the big tube for a bit then the little tube. Empty the cup and put the hopper in the back window again and tilt the machine back and it comes out empty and easy.
After pulling powder hopper and dumping powder from back, just lift the V4 and dump the tubes. I dump right into the hopper no spills.
