I think I've figured out what they need to change in the design to eliminate the increasingly difficult Torch-Cam operation - but it's way beyond my abilities to do such a change even though it would have been simple if done originally. Also, the aluminum rod that goes through the torch-cam to hold it in place needs to be just a bit bigger aroundto provide a more snug fit to the barrel - and I may experiment with that a little.

Could be the heavy conicals create more blowback than you observed with the lighter bullets. Those PowerPunches weigh about 500 grains and 65 grains (weighed) is PLENTY of T7 behind that bullet. And I do think the primer choice made a difference - not a positive one. I think most of the blowback was definitely routed through the primer pocket as the grease I had put on the plug was barely dirty toward the nose-end threads. Seems I recall the CCI 209s are just a bit smaller diameter than Winchesters. Might have to give them a trysome year.

The rifle does handle recoil very well.

Should have shot it long before but weather had not cooperated ATALL and I'm getting far too lazy! My next outing will be with a White that I have yet to shoot... beyond that I don't know.
