Thanks for responding. Russ tells me I should have no problems. I e-mailed the factory that makes the tikkas. Let see what they say. With out a midrib chance of damage should be slim. I will let you know what the factory says. I got some accubond comeing. I did not like them at 270fps in my 375 H&H I killed a cow elk with one that blew up, too soft for realy big game,but at 2300 FPS it should be just the ticket.
