Re: Anderson family portrate

The x39 head spaces on the datum of shoulder, only issue with a deeper bolt is more of the case head being 'unsupported'. Not an issue as the bolt lock up takes care of that.

I like PSA 9 mm platform because it's Mage to use Glock( or colt or s&w mags{I think} mags. No filler in 223 mag well.
