I only have the "Safari II" version which doesn't have an indicator that I am aware of. Nice feature to only thing people complain about is making so much noise racking the action loading a round

Only thing iv heard people complain about with automatics are making so much noise when loading a round in the chamber . Supposedly the new mk4 is lot more smoother and quieter .

Pulling the trigger tomorrow on this browning bar mk4 308 iv been wanting . I was going to get it few months ago but ended up in the hospital for a bit .. so , its a 22in 1in12 twist . Thats the only thing I dont like about it . Iv heard these autoloaders with the 12 twist like the 165gr but that was just from 2 people thay did not reload there own just shot factory ammo.
That said I like 150gr for whitetail , I just dont see the need for heavier bullets ? I plan on using the nosler Partition. Maby the 165 would push through little better id hit bone ? Even then I highly doubt 15gr gonna make a difference on killing power on a 120lb deer we have here.
I would assume the 150gr Partition would be capable of 1moa at 100 yards and 1.5 at 200 with a 1in12 twist?
I have always had my custom rifles built with 1in10 at 26in...
Also will standard winchester LR primers work with this being a autoloader ? This will be the first automatic I have ever loaded for
I have on order a small base die .
Have tons of varget.
Have plenty of winchester brass
Have lot of winchester LR primers

For a semi auto don’t forget the Lee Factory Crimp Die

Definitely.. I do have one . Its probably about time for a new one is it's pretty old and used I cramped all of my other hunting rifles plus a bunch that I have loaded for others over the years that die is probably 20 years old and had thousands around through it as I shoot my hunting rifles often too

I'm not sure if they wear out ? I'd guess it would really be a high mileage one , if it was worn out .
