Glamdring-
For the .338 we'll be using Mad Dog handloads of 250gr Sierra Game Kings. I also have will take 20 250gr Barnes X's that have been confirmed to the same point of impact. We may try these out for comparison purposes.
For the .416 it will be handloaded Barnes X's backed up by Barnes Solids.
In both calibers, the Blaser holds 3+1. Topping off is no slower than with a standard bolt. Dropping one in the chamber is quicker.
As for the glass, I'm not too worried about it going down in the middle os a firefight. I just think iron sights are quicker. Ashley's been working on a design for a rear scope mount that would include an Ashley Proof pop up ring and integral stripper guide. When this comes out, I think it'll be the real deal.
