How long it takes is a function of the grid resolution you want, and to some extent the type of probe used. The only one I wrote was to copy the faces of a rifle magazine floor plate for an old P17 of mine that I thought might be a little easier to carry afield if I made an alu floor plate, thereby lightening a 14 lb monster to 13 lbs 15 oz. About a week into the project I balanced the books and the pieces are still in the shop drawer, in the white. I could carry one less spare round and lighten the load about the same, for a P.O. Ackley-06. Never needed more than 3 anyway & that time was because I needed a sighter shot at 640 yards. I put the 2nd and 3rd rounds through him about 2" apart. He ate well. Nice rack too, wish I still had it. I still have the P17, but its due for the 2nd new barrel since then, 4000 rounds a barrel usually, but this one has some rust pits near the muzzle so its well on its way to another new Douglas now, but I'm about wore out too as I come up on 80yo this fall, so I'll likely let one of my boys worry about it.
