I also wanted to buy a high end Swarovski & finally went to Cabelas so that I could try out Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski side by side.
I tried to be unbiased but secretly wanted a pair of high end Zeiss, but when I compared them side by side Leica's came out clearly on top for me. Superbly sharp...

Not to mention "vaccinating" children where the death rate is virtually zero!
Real vaccines last decades, if not a lifetime, Polio, Hepatitis B, & Measles to name a few. Heck, even the Tetanus vaccine is still 72% effective after 25 years. None of this "Hey it has to be kept at...
Yes, 100% sure that they were Nosler Partitions. Shooting at about 2700-2750 fps at the muzzle. I'd have to go & look at my reloading records to see what time period, may have been early 2000's.
For the 30-06 I'm very happy with the Combined Technology Ballistic Tips & will not go back to...
I've shot 180gr from my 30-06 for decades. I started with Nosler Partitions but was disappointed with the core separation from the recovered rounds; time & time again.
Dumped the partitions for Ballistic Tips & then the Combined Technology Ballistic Tips which in my opinion were the best for my...
Blessed to get this guy this year ...
.30 Nosler in my Nosler Model 48 Long Range
Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56
180gr AccuBond at 3196fps at the muzzle
423 yards (Estimated 2400fps at this range)
Just about 19" of drop at 3000 feet
Scanned the area & saw nothing after bumping into a herd of 50 a...
One of the things that concerns me is that this is the first vaccine ever using MRNA technology. Prior to Covid no vaccine using MRNA was authorized for use in the US (Maybe others places as well), and the vaccine makers are immune from liability.
No one seems to mention the double standards .... "My Body, My Choice" seems to be OK if you want an abortion & that garners a lot of news when states outlaw it ... but "My Body, My Choice" falls on deaf ears when it comes to the vaccine .
What should happen is more independent thought & less...
Time for the Hornady employees to band together & walk off the job - this is insanity, especially for a vaccine that's experimental & has to be granted an Emergency Use Authorization just so it can be administered.
Also ... reminds me of a joke at work we'd play on someone waiting for a package from someplace; a box of cigars, a computer item, etc.
Intercept the box before they see it, xerox the shipping label & attach it to a separate box. Fill the box with something from the office about the same...
I agree with the rest ... blame the shipping dept of the dealer you purchased from - careless packaging on their part.
My worst UPS delivery was an empty package where all the contents spilled out before delivery, al I got was an empty package ... hard to imagine no one noticed ??? I was lucky...
Looks exactly like tool marks from production ... a proper break in should smooth them out but not completely like you'd expect from a custom barrel. I would not be concerned about them.

On the 2nd pic as you...
I agree 100%. I notice a drastic reduction in recoil with my 30 Nosler, but it's also deafening. I carry earplugs when hunting now and put them in before the shot when I have time.
I made the mistake of being beside my daughter when she took a buck at 200 yds with her 7mm Rem Mag with a muzzle...
Actually Magnesium is not a desiccant ... Magnesium perchlorate and or Magnesium sulfate would be. A solid block of magnesium would do nothing .... there's lots of other safer ways to keep something dry.
I took a road trip to Wenatchee WA and on a whim stopped in a local sporting store ... They had ammo everywhere as well as powder!
I was able to pick up some 6.5 PRC for a friend who has not been able to find ammo for about a year and I was pleased to see that they had 40 lbs of Ramshot Magnum...
The site he was referring to was:
https://www.raniersec.com/
I would not order from them as well given their payment methods as well as typos scattered on their website.
I had someone point out to me two other sites that he found and he said that he would not do business with them as well...
