[v4lu3s]

I have mostly loaded with Leverevolution and CFE223, a little bit of H335 as well as Shooter's World Precision in the Grendel cartridges, though I also...

Thanks, everyone, for the guidance. Looks like I can get the Howa for $439 right now. Ironically I did find a very nice CZ 527 local to me, however...
