Its a heel based bullet mold from Accurate. How much do you take off the cases? And whats your load?
I shot it once and I used 3.8 of trail boss.

I thought about it, it might work in winter since it wont smell too much.

Since last time I posted, I added a small window next to the door. What can I use to get rid of mice and rodents? Moth balls dont work, neither does fox urine.
