Okay, I give up--how'd you do that?  I'd be interested in the load, would 
really liven things up at the range.  Please post more. . .

I've tried near everything with mine, short of execution, and it still keeps 
beeping.  Dropped it from eye level, threw it down the hall, whipped it at 
the wall, and it still works.  A Nosler 135 might fix it, but it'd be awful 
hard to explain, and I'd just get issued another one.
Later,
Brian.
