    “For me”, H110 / 296 is a hunting type powder only. And if you ever test primers, you will be amazed how you get ANY low SD with the lack of consistency from primer to primer. The colder it is, the...

    People can be disappointed if they don’t have confidence. See, lead gains strength with diameter too.
