So not to hijack this but Cimarron cancelled my order for the sight!!! Asswipes sent me no email and no explanation. So F them, I decided to order the sight from eBay (the Browning, the guy gave me an offer I couldn't refuse)) and I'll find the screws for it. Should be here this week!

Well I fit the butt plate, it’s not perfect but it’s good for me. Looks a hell of a lot better!

The story continues. I have the sights sorted out. It shoots a little high, about a foot at 100 yards, with the sights as they were. i put a taller sight insert into the globe and it should be about right. The surprise was the load! That is a 52 grain Speer hp seated to the base of the neck and the bullet is 3 thousands off the lands! It should be going around 2500 fps and under 30000psi. It’s a wicked looking little cartridge. I can’t wait to hit the range again. Oh and S&B brass has a tiny flash hole in the case. I bought some factory ammo cheap and was going to use the brass but the decapping pin was pulled out of the pin stem in the die 3 times in 3 cases and the last one bent! Also out of 40 rounds I lost 4 cases to cracks while fire forming and not one lost with Hornady brass. So S&B brass is a no go!

Good the hornady brass is working.
The Privi IIRC is already annealed from the factory.
Fun gun to shoot reactive targets just the right oomph

Yeah it’s kinda comically long when I’m shooting, I was thinking about cutting it down but the tang is too long I’d have to cut it down… not sure I want to cut the tang to fit the butt plate..
